Jan 6 defendant Paul Hodgkins asks for leniency in new sentencing memo, saying "It takes courage & strength of character to be the 1st person to step forward"

Then invokes Civil War reference & asks to not be "cancelled"

Feds: Hodgkins carried Trump flag into well of Senate
But wait... there's much more

Hodgkins attorney throws haymakers at American culture .. saying we seek to "cancel one another", saying we are suffering from becoming a "post-Christian society" and fail to see each other as "brothers & sisters"

And.. another Civil War reference
Then the attorney invokes BLM, Freddie Gray, George Floyd and Trayvon Martin

And then he makes more Civil War references

And then he talks about protestors arrested at Brett Kavanaugh hearings (which another defendant invoked to get count dismissed.. and failed)
