Jake Lang's Crusader Rally

• 🎯 Jake Lang, a Jan Sixer and white supremacist, is highlighted for leading a rally outside of Apac, the pro-Israel lobby headquarters.
• 🎭 Lang's rally involved him throwing chocolate coins and wearing a rubber Joe Biden mask, a tactic described as reminiscent of older political satire.
