Kenneth Joseph Owen Thomas
Pardoned January 6 defendant
Documented editorial-use imageKenneth Thomas — Joe to the people who know him — is a United States Navy veteran from East Liverpool, Ohio. (FACT) He wore his service openly, right down to a Veteran for Trump hat. He was also an organizer. He helped put together a 60-vehicle caravan that traveled together toward Washington. (FACT) On January 6 he was charged in a confrontation with police on the Capitol's Upper West Terrace and was convicted of assaulting officers. Those are the charges and the verdict, and we state them plainly. (FACT — charges are charges.) He was sentenced to 58 months. (FACT) On January 20, 2025, President Trump extended clemency to January 6 defendants. (FACT) However you weigh that day, this is a man who once wore the uniform of the United States Navy.
