ST. PAUL, Minn. (KFGO/WCCO) – Political influencer and pardoned-January 6th rioter Jake Lang is now accused of committing a bias crime in connection to a February incident where he kicked over an ice sculpture on the steps of the Minnesota State Capitol. It’s the second felony charge filed against Lang.
There was an ice sculpture saying “Prosecute ICE” on the steps of the capitol, which Lang said he viewed as graffiti. Lang posted a video knocking down letters to make the sculpture read “Pro ICE.” The sculpture was sponsored by Veterans from Common Defense.
In March he pleaded not guilty to the first charge, setting up a trial in July.
In January during Operation Metro Surge, Lang staged an anti-Islam rally in downtown Minneapolis that drew more opponents than supporters, and ended in Lang being chased away. Before his anti-Somali, anti-Islam demonstration, called the “March Against Minnesota Fraud,” Lang said on social media he intended to “burn a Quran” on the steps of City Hall.
