Story summary

Jake Lang, a pardoned Jan. 6 protester, staged an antisemitic demonstration outside AIPAC's headquarters in Washington, D.C., on January 7, 2026.
He threw chocolate coins, gave a Nazi salute, and made inflammatory remarks about immigrant children and lawmakers receiving AIPAC donations.
Lang claimed lawmakers would face execution for treason and expressed skepticism about the Holocaust's severity.
His actions highlight a troubling trend of far-right figures gaining traction in conservative politics, despite some Republican opposition.
