Isaac Samuel Yoder is a Missouri patriot from Vernon County — the man who showed up to Washington, D.C. on January 6, 2021 dressed in full colonial garb, a walking tribute to America's founding. Isaac Yoder is one of a kind. His love of country runs so deep he dressed the part of a Revolutionary-era American. That spirit is recognized back home: his own Missouri county later featured Isaac Yoder in its Fourth of July celebration — a neighbor, not a stranger, to the people of Vernon County. On January 6, 2021, Yoder entered the Capitol carrying a period sword and a wooden flagpole after attending the rally. Charges are charges: after a bench trial in May 2023 he was found guilty of misdemeanor counts and sentenced to one year. He never denied being there — his colonial outfit made him one of the most recognizable faces of the day. On January 20, 2025, President Trump granted clemency to January 6 defendants, and Isaac Yoder's case was resolved. He is home in Missouri. CASE RECORD: United States v. Isaac Samuel Yoder, Case No. 1:21-cr-505, U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. Arrested August 4, 2021 in Springfield, Missouri. Full docket on CourtListener and the DOJ Capitol Breach page. This profile is unclaimed. If this is you — or your family — claiming it is free, forever.
