The daughters of a man sentenced to seven years in federal prison Monday for attempting to enter the U.S. Capitol last year with a gun blamed former President Donald Trump after the sentence was handed down. Guy Reffitt of Texas was given the longest sentence yet stemming from the Jan. 6 Capitol attack. Two women identified only as Reffitt’s daughters ripped into Trump while speaking to CBS News after the sentence was announced. “We are divided and it’s not okay… because it was Trump’s name on the flags,” one of the daughters told reporters Monday. The first woman concluded, “Trump deserves life in prison if my father’s in prison for this long.”Reffitt was the first Jan. 6 defendant found guilty by a jury.
