By Casey Gannon | CNNRyan Kelley, a former Republican candidate for governor of Michigan, was sentenced to 60 days behind bars on Tuesday for his participation in the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol. On January 6, 2021, prosecutors said Kelley made his way to the West Plaza outside of the Capitol. Following the Capitol attack, the government said Kelley used his public platform as a candidate for an elected position to spread false claims. “To me, that was a sign that’s not how you enter the Capitol,” Kelley said. “That day I was misled, but I own the actions,” Kelley said.
