While sentencing him for his role in the riots, District Judge Dabney Friedrich said: "Mr. Reffitt's reluctance to admit early that his behavior is illegal is concerning. And I want to be very clear ... under no legitimate definition of the term 'patriot' (does) Mr. Reffitt's behavior on and around January 6 fit the term. It is the antithesis of the word." Judge Friedrich also praised the security forces while handing out Guy Reffitt his 87 months long prison sentence. She said: "The officers at the Capitol are the patriots, as well as those who fought and even died to protect our democracy, our rule of law ... those in the mob are not. Not only are they not patriots, they're a direct threat to our democracy and will be punished as such."

On January 6, 2021, Reffitt arrived at the U.S. Capitol building in Washington, D.C., USA with another Three Percenter member and his friend, Rocky Hardie, 63, of Austin, Texas. Reffitt was caught on camera during the riots wearing a blue jacket over a black padded or tactical-style vest and a black helmet with a Go-Pro-style camera attached while using a water bottle to flush out his eyes. Reffitt also carried multiple firearms with him. Scott MacFarlane@MacFarlaneNewsTo be clear, Guy Reffitt was a high level defendant. He had a gun while confronting police. And tactical gear. Feds say he threatened his own kids. And AK47 in his vehicle in Georgetown. But there are higher level defendants awaiting their day at trial.

And AK47 in his vehicle in Georgetown. But there are higher level defendants awaiting their day at trial. Accused conspirators He has been convicted by the jury of five counts, including transporting firearms and engaging in rioting. In one of the videos that Reffitt recorded of himself, he can be seen threatening Nancy Pelosi. "I just want to see Pelosi's head hit every f**king stair on the way out. ... And (Republican leader) Mitch McConnell too." Although initially adamant about going on trial instead of taking a plea deal before being sentenced to prison, Guy Reffitt changed his statements and called himself stupid while applying for a leniency plea. District Judge Friedrich noted the same while hearing the plea appeal and said: "It seems like you wanted to be the big guy, the important guy, the first guy to go to trial ... the first guy up there, to revel in the press. You want to be an important person who makes a difference, and yet you are going about it in all the wrong ways." Reffitt also agreed to her verdict. District Judge Friedrich, sentenced Reffitt to 87 months in prison, three years of probation, $2,000 in restitution, and mandatory mental health treatment.
