Declassified with Julie Kelly 9/13/2023
As the body count, excessive prison sentences, and new arrests related to January 6 pile up, the twisted bloodlust of the Left is on full display.
Julie KellyNejourde Thomas “Jord” Meacham was the sort of person the elites in Washington despise.
One of ten children in what appears to be a tight-knit family, Jord lived in rural Utah near the Nevada border working on his family’s ranch; he enjoyed fishing, hunting, and riding horses. “He was a big history buff. Listening to music was a big part of his life and young kids were drawn to him,” his obituary read. Jord is survived by his parents, siblings, grandparents, and “many aunts, uncles, and cousins.”
By all accounts, Jord led a quiet life animated by family gatherings and summers at an Alaskan fishery. Unlike those who targeted him, Jord did not earn a law degree from an Ivy League university, hone his skills at Quantico, or trade gossip with news reporters at D.C. hotel bars.
And on January 6, 2021, Jord made a decision that deeply offended the ruling class in the nation’s capital: he demonstrated his support for Donald Trump.
According to the FBI, Jord and his uncle, Odin, traveled to Washington on January 5. “[They] attended the rally at the Washington Monument,” a July 2023 affidavit read. “They then walked with the crowd to the U.S. Capitol building. As they approached the Capitol, Odin became separated from [Jord]. Later that afternoon, they reunited and left the area.”
While carrying a Trump flag—a detail the FBI agent intentionally noted in his report—Jord, 19 at the time, entered the Capitol and spent less than ten minutes inside the building. He did not assault a police officer or damage government property. And although the complaint stated Jord was escorted out by police that afternoon, he was not arrested at the time.
Instead, Jord’s arrest came more than 30 months later. After Jord gave a voluntary interview with the FBI the day after his uncle was arrested for his participation in the Capitol protest, the feds opened an investigation into the young man. Jord was arrested on August 2 and charged with four common misdemeanors. (The FBI accused Jord of lying about his whereabouts on January 6 but did not charge him accordingly.)
On August 28, U.S. District Court Judge Reggie Walton, one of the most unhinged judges overseeing January 6 cases, scheduled Jord’s arraignment.
Later that evening, Jord, 22, killed himself.
Jord is the fourth known suicide of a January 6 defendant. Christopher Stanton Georgia, 53, shot himself in the chest a few days after January 6; he had been arrested and charged with unlawful entry and violating the city’s curfew. Mark Aungst, 47, killed himself in July 2022, a month after pleading guilty to the petty offense of “parading” in the Capitol.
Pennsylvania resident Matthew Perna, 37, took his life last year after learning the DOJ would seek years in prison for his felony obstruction plea. His aunt, Geri Perna, has since become an outspoken advocate for January 6 defendants.
Jord did have his life ahead of him. But in the short term, he and his family would’ve been subjected to ongoing torment inflicted by a cruel and ruthless DOJ. He would’ve been openly berated by a lunatic judge—Walton accused one man who pleaded guilty to a petty offense of “disgrac[ing] this country in the eyes of the world” and “attack[ing] the government”—in open court. He would’ve been branded a domestic terrorist despite the low-level charges filed against him. He would’ve been hounded by the news media, both local and national.
Such is the fate of every January 6 defendant. And Jord undoubtedly knew the nightmare in front of him.
It cannot be pure coincidence that Jord took his life just hours after Walton scheduled his arraignment.
Bloodthirsty Ghouls Cheer MiseryBut one would be hard pressed to find any Democrat expressing sympathy or, God forbid, outrage over the human wreckage left in the wake of Attorney General Merrick Garland’s and Graves’ ongoing pursuit of Americans who protested at the Capitol more than 32 months ago.

No one “peacefully entered the Capitol” on January 6 except the Capitol police, representatives, senators, Mike Pence and their staffs. Jord Meacham and everyone else that stormed the Capitol are terrorists and traitors.
To the contrary, social media accounts mocked Jord’s suicide—either suggesting Jord deserved his fate or that Donald Trump was to blame:

Blood is on the hands of an ex-president who refused to accept defeat.
Blood is on the hands of the sycophants, who helped set January 6 in motion.
There is no blood on the hands of a justice department that legally holds people accountable for their criminal acts.

J6 terrorists did it to themselves. Too cowardly to stand trial? I'm good with that.
