Peter Navarro, the former Trump White House trade advisor, is expected to speak at the Republican National Convention next week, just hours after his release from jail on July 17th.

Navarro was found guilty of contempt of Congress charges last September for refusing to cooperate with a congressional investigation into the Jan. 6th, 2021, incident at the U.S. Capitol. He has since been in Miami prison.
Navarro’s attorney declined to comment on his participation in the convention.
The event is expected to draw millions of viewers across days of programming, so Navarro’s attendance could raise eyebrows.
Before heading to prison in March, Navarro had called his conviction the “partisan weaponization of the judicial system.”

He stood up to the corrupt Jan 6th committee – and was persecuted for it.

Navarro is a patriot. He will be vindicated when this is all over.
Republicans, where are you? Members of Congress should be speaking out in unison.

Navarro had asked to stay free while he appealed his conviction to give the courts time to consider his challenge.
However, Washington’s federal appeals court denied his bid to avoid his sentence, finding that his appeal was unlikely to reverse his conviction.
Trump, who has previously claimed Navarro to be a “great patriot” and “good man,” has a history of standing by his allies.
Navarro was the second Trump aide convicted of contempt of Congress charges; former White House adviser Steve Bannon had also received a four-month sentence that he is serving now.

Steve is wrong in his terminology and it is a big deal. He is conflating Republicans with conservatives and that is wrong and untrue. I am not a Republican I am a conservative and do not let that distinction be lost on you. Republicans do not get to define what is conservative and Steven should not allow them to.
