Kenneth Grayson

Pardoned January 6 defendant

Documented editorial-use image

Kenneth Grayson is a Pittsburgh-area man from Bridgeville, Pennsylvania, who did not hide what he did. FACT: On January 6 he livestreamed himself on his own Facebook account, wearing a black jacket with a large yellow "Q," a man who believed he was doing something out in the open, not in the shadows. Investigators say they believe Grayson expressed support for QAnon and pointed to photographs of him with a leader of the Proud Boys and with conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. Weeks before the riot he allegedly messaged someone that if Trump told the crowd to storm the Capitol, he would. (Source: Pittsburgh Post-Gazette; WPXI) CORRECTION: This profile previously listed his charges as a set of misdemeanor counts, entering, disorderly conduct, and parading. The actual charge he was convicted of, per the DOJ and the NPR January 6 Defendants Database, was the felony of Civil Disorder. That is the accurate charge of record, not a lesser misdemeanor. (Source: WPXI, "Bridgeville man pleads guilty to felony charge") FACT: Grayson pleaded guilty to that single felony count. On December 20, 2022 he was sentenced to 2 months of incarceration, 24 months of supervised release, a $100 special assessment, and $2,000 in restitution. Charges are charges; this was his plea and the court's sentence.
