Worst Defense in History

 5/27/22 CNN:

(CNN)A January 6 rioter and alleged White supremacist was convicted Friday on all five charges he faced after hitching his case to the claim that he didn't know Congress met at the United States Capitol.

"I thought there were several buildings called 'Capitol building,'" Timothy Hale-Cusanelli, an alleged Nazi sympathizer and Army reservist, told the jury Thursday, adding that he was "from New Jersey" and was "idiotic" and ignorant. "I did not realize that Congress met in the Capitol."

Several jurors rolled their eyes during this explanation and Hale-Cusanelli later said he was knowledgeable regarding the workings of the Electoral College process and American politics generally, which he took classes on in college.
