Judge Amy B. Jackson, at hearing for Capitol defendant Karl Dresch, pointed out that his supporters were infantilizing a 41-year-old man, calling him a “young man” and a “very bright kid."
“Senator Josh Hawley is 41, and he’s not even the youngest senator there,” she says.
“Senator Josh Hawley is 41, and he’s not even the youngest senator there,” she says.
Judge Amy B. Jackson also pointed out that Washington Capitols Captain Alex Ovechkin is 35; Tom Brady was NFL MVP at 40; Bill Clinton was elected before he was 40; and that Martin Luther King was younger than 40 when he was killed.
The supporter who called Karl Dresch a “very bright kid” (and left out Dresch's criminal conduct in his 30s) is **checks notes** the sheriff of Houghton County, Michigan.
Judge Jackson is going to take the arguments under advisement, she’s not ruling at this time.
