Florida restaurant cancels 'going to prison' party for Jan. 6 rioter seen with Pelosi's lectern

AFlorida restaurant canceled a "going to prison" party for a Jan. 6 rioter who was photographed with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's lectern after the owner said that it was drawing too much attention.

News Channel 8 reported that Caddy's Bradenton, a waterfront restaurant located outside of Tampa, Fla., canceled the April 1 event for Adam Johnson, who was sentenced to 75 days in prison last month for breaking into the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 insurrection.

The restaurant manager for Caddy's Bradenton told the outlet he canceled the event, which had been advertised as a "going to prison" party, because of the attention it was drawing.

The Facebook event, "Adam's going to prison!" is still live on the social media site, with 41 people confirmed to attend.

The rioters have no loyalty and a lot of people who disagree
with their actions will remember and simply stop going there.

They may not recover, even though they cancelled the event.
