Capitol Rioter Loses His Bid to Return as a Member of Congress
Derrick Evans filmed himself strolling the halls of Congress as a member of the pro-Trump mob that stormed the U.S. Capitol Building on Jan. 6, 2021. Three years later, the ultraconservative West Virginian hoped to return to Capitol Hill as a full-fledged congressman.
On Tuesday, however, those dreams were dashed.
The Associated Press projected that his opponent, three-term Rep. Carol Miller (R-WV) clinched the GOP nomination with over 60 percent of the vote.
