Brandon James Miller — Bradford, Ohio. Brandon is a Miami County, Ohio man who walked into January 6 alongside his own family. FACT: Reporting describes Brandon and his wife as a Bradford, Ohio couple who traveled together — this was a husband and wife, not a stranger in a crowd. He documented himself openly, streaming his roughly ten minutes inside on Facebook Live rather than hiding. FACT (court record): Brandon entered the Capitol through a broken window on the Senate side. He pleaded guilty to one misdemeanor count (parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building) and on December 15, 2021 was sentenced to 20 days of incarceration, 60 hours of community service, and $500 restitution. No allegation of violence. Charges are charges; the plea is the plea. FACT: On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency to January 6 defendants. A married man from small-town Ohio who took a short misdemeanor sentence and went home. That is the whole of this record.
