Jan. 6 should be a national holiday, one Trump advisory board member declared, guaranteeing that in 10 years “it will look like July 4.”
The push to create a new US holiday “has been on my mind for four years, I just didn’t have the chutzpah to talk about it,” Jason Meister, 43, told The Post.
“That would be the biggest way to honor these American heroes who risked their lives, freedom and honor to protest what they perceived to be a stolen election.”
The former Trump surrogate, who sits on the Trump 2020 Advisory Board, is also pushing for J6 “political prisoners” to sing the National Anthem at the 2027 NFL Draft, which is set to take place at the National Mall.
The New Jersey risk specialist, who was in the Big Apple when protestors stormed the US Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, plans to raise the issue with Trump the next chance he gets.
Meister also hopes to see the J6ers memorialized in Trump’s “National Garden of American Heroes” monument, which is scheduled to open in time for the US’ 250th birthday on July 4, 2026.
“The elites weaponized J6 to crush dissent. These men and women have lost everything – jobs, families, their very liberty – for refusing to kneel,” said Meister, who blasted the “hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars” used to “investigate, prosecute, and imprison more than 1000 Americans” who were exercising their First Amendment rights “without due process.”
Bring out the barbeque and fireworks, said the fired-up MAGA man.
“J6 must be celebrated and forever known as Patriot’s Day,” he said. “American citizens exercised their right of assembly and redress. All of these Americans were unarmed.
“In response, the regime murdered a woman who was protesting and sent thousands more to federal prison without fair trial.”
The family of Ashli Babbitt, the unarmed US veteran who was shot to death by a federal officer on Jan. 6, settled a $30 million wrongful death suit earlier this month with the DOJ.
“We talk about due process for illegal gangbangers who beat their wives,” fumed Meister. “I want to celebrate these heroes who sacrificed it all to protect our democracy.”
