Brandon Mackie

Pardoned January 6 defendant

Documented editorial-use image

Brandon Mackie — Weatherford, Texas. Two minutes. FACT: The government's own case says Brandon Mackie was inside the Capitol from 3:12 p.m. to 3:14 p.m. on January 6, 2021. Two minutes inside a building, and it took years of his life. FACT: Every count was a misdemeanor: entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly and disruptive conduct, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building or grounds, and parading or demonstrating. No weapon. No assault. No property damage. Never alleged, never charged. FACT: He was charged in February 2024 — more than three years after the fact — alongside his brother Nathan and a friend. The government identified him through surveillance footage, public video, and Google account records. FACT: Following the January 20, 2025 clemency covering January 6 defendants, the federal case against him did not proceed to a conviction. Three years of dread over 120 seconds. Think about what that does to a man, to his marriage, to his work, to his brother. Brandon is a Weatherford, Texas man with a family and a life that nobody wrote about because two minutes does not sell papers. If you know him — what he does, who he helps, what he was doing the other 525,598 minutes of that year — this page is waiting.
