Before turning himself in, Shroyer recorded a video for his fans in which he pledged to never stop “fighting” for “the truth.”
“I’m about to give myself up to be a prisoner of speech in Biden’s America,” he said.
“That year 1776 is extremely important not only because it was the founding year of our country, but the US government argues that it is illegal for me to say ‘1776’ in Washington, DC,” Shroyer said, referring to your account X. established team. “You don’t believe me? Check out the US government sentencing memo for yourself. They said me singing ‘1776’ in Washington, DC is worthy of 60 days in jail.”

Shroyer’s sentence outraged many who see it as yet another sign of the Biden administration’s weaponization of the judicial system against those with conservative views.
“They turned their entry charge into a speech crime,” one user wrote on X. “It’s a horrible injustice.”
