Texas teen who ratted out his own father to the FBI is reeling from Donald Trump’s decision to pardon January 6th protesters.
Jackson Reffitt, whose father Guy Reffitt was sentenced to over seven years in prison for his role in the protests against the 2020 presidential election, spoke to CNN after Donald Trump announced that he would be pardoning all of those involved.
“I’ve taken as many precautions as I could recently,” Jackson said.
“I’ve picked up a gun, I’ve moved, and I’ve gotten myself away from what I thought would be a dangerous situation and staying where I thought my dad could find me or other people.”
However, Jackson is at least showing remorse for his actions, which included wiretapping conversations that would be used to incriminate his father.
He has admitted that doing so was “disgusting” and says he feels guilt about it to this day.
“My father’s actions coming from the Trump presidency and what he thought he was doing was right just destroyed it [my family].”
”I made a very, very disgusting decision to inform authorities about what he was doing, and I still feel horrible about it every day.”
“My sisters are out there right now, and they’re rooting for him. I understand that.”
“I come from a place of love toward them. I want to be there for them, but I can’t. It just isn’t safe for people like me who have done what I did to protect my family… I cannot feel safe around him [father].”

Despite the fact he now says he feels terrible about his actions, young Jackson repeatedly betrayed his father by requesting that he receive the maximum sentence for his supposed crimes.
During his sentencing, Jackson said that his father had “slowly lost himself over the years” and “fallen into a horrible community to find a place in this life.“
His sentence of seven years was the longest sentence handed out to any January 6th protester when it was handed down.
Fortunately for Guy, other members of his family and patriots across the country offered their love and support against the persecution he faced by the Biden regime.
