Daye Gottsche unknowingly assisted Jake Lang, a right-wing provocateur and Jan. 6 Capitol rioter, in fleeing a counterprotest. Lang, previously jailed for assaulting officers, had been leading a pro-Trump immigration crackdown march. Gottsche provided him a ride without realizing his identity or the confrontation he was escaping.
Daye Gottsche let the stranger into the car without knowing he was a right-wing provocateur who had been leading a march to support President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.
She didn’t realize that the demonstrators she saw on her drive had gathered at Minneapolis City Hall on Saturday to counterprotest — and were chasing him away, throwing punches at him. Gottsche did not recognize that this man was Jake Lang, who was charged with beating police officers with a baseball bat during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol and jailed for four years before Trump pardoned him.
