Description

Capitol rioters: 'They're all f---ing short-bus people' The lawyer for the "QAnon Shaman" said many Capitol riot defendants have mental impairments. Albert Watkins delivered a litany of offensive claims about the defendants' intelligence levels. The outspoken lawyer for one of the Capitol attack defendants said his client and others charged in connection with the riot were especially susceptible to former President Donald Trump's election lies because of their mental capacity. "A lot of these defendants - and I'm going to use this colloquial term, perhaps disrespectfully - but they're all f—ing short-bus people," Watkins told the outlet. "These are people with brain damage." He also called them an offensive term for someone with a developmental disability and suggested they had autism. ***tRump's people.
