National Harbor, MD - CPAC 2024 -At the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) held in National Harbor, Maryland, Sarah McAbee, spouse of a Jan 6 defendant, shared her firsthand experiences at the border and voiced concerns over her husband's sentencing.
McAbee, accompanied by Roger Farina of Citizen Media News, recounted her visit to the border at Eagle Pass, Texas. Amidst shocking scenes of abandoned belongings, including luxury items like Louis Vuitton bags and Nike shoes, McAbee highlighted the organized nature of illegal border crossings. She described how migrants leave behind possessions to claim indigence upon arrival, contrasting the treatment of illegal migrants with the harsh penalties faced by American citizens.
The discussion turned to McAbee's husband, Ronald Colton Mackley, a former law enforcement officer awaiting sentencing related to his actions on Jan 6. McAbee expressed frustration over the judicial process, citing concerns about biased juries and the lack of fair trials in Washington, D.C. She revealed the emotional toll of her husband's imprisonment and the financial burden of legal defense.
Addressing broader border security issues, McAbee proposed unconventional solutions, including deploying military bases along the border and introducing dangerous wildlife deterrents like piranhas. Her comments underscored growing conservative dissatisfaction with the Biden administration's immigration policies.
McAbee also discussed her nonprofit foundation, Stand in the Gap, to support families of Jan 6 defendants and fund legal representation.
The conversation shed light on the complex intersection of border security, legal justice, and political activism, resonating strongly with conservative audiences.
