Jan. 6 should be a national holiday, one Trump advisory board member declared, guaranteeing that in 10 years “it will look like July 4.”
Jason Meister, 43, revealed to The Post that he has been contemplating the idea of establishing a new US holiday for four years, although he hadn’t felt brave enough to discuss it until now.
“It would serve as the ultimate tribute to these American patriots, who risked their lives, liberty, and reputations to protest against what they believed was an unjust election,” he explained.
Meister, who previously supported Trump and remains on the Trump 2020 Advisory Board, is also advocating for the “political prisoners” from January 6 to perform the National Anthem at the 2027 NFL Draft, which is scheduled to be held at the National Mall.
The New Jersey lawyer, who was in the Big Apple when protestors stormed the US Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, plans to raise the issue with Trump the next chance he gets.
Meister also hopes to see the J6ers memorialized in Trump’s “National Garden of American Heroes” monument, which is scheduled to open in time for the US’ 250th birthday on July 4, 2026.
“The elites weaponized J6 to crush dissent. These men and women have lost everything – jobs, families, their very liberty – for refusing to kneel,” said Meister, who blasted the “hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars” used to “investigate, prosecute, and imprison more than 1000 Americans” who were exercising their First Amendment rights “without due process.”
Bring out the barbeque and fireworks, said the fired-up MAGA man.
“J6 must be celebrated and forever known as Patriot’s Day,” he said. “American citizens exercised their right of assembly and redress. All of these Americans were unarmed.
“In response, the regime murdered a woman who was protesting and sent thousands more to federal prison without fair trial.”
The family of Ashli Babbitt, the unarmed US veteran who was shot to death by a federal officer on Jan. 6, settled a $30 million wrongful death suit earlier this month with the DOJ.
“We talk about due process for illegal gangbangers who beat their wives,” fumed Meister. “I want to celebrate these heroes who sacrificed it all to protect our democracy.”
