Mr. Palmer argues that his presence at the Capitol on January 6 was the result of his desire to act patriotically and for the good of the nation; this mindset and the, quote, “crowd mob effect” caused him to assault the Capitol Police that day. He also offers that while he accepts and regrets his actions, it is relevant to consider that any purported architects of the January 6 riots have not been charged with any criminal offense and that it would be an imbalance to sentence him to an extended prison term while those actors remain free. Palmer Sentencing But the court also explained why it did not accept that argument. And it is true, Mr. Palmer -- you have made a very good point, one that has been made before -- that the people who exhorted you and encouraged you and rallied you to go and take action and to fight have not been charged.

She opens by explaining that the statements she made (which Trump said shows her bias) were made while sentencing J6 defendants.
For example, one defendant asked for leniency because he did the president's bidding and because the architects who planned the violence were not being charged. (Screenshot #1)
She refused to accept his argument, but said he made a good point. (#2)
From this, Trump claimed that she wanted Trump to be charged and was therefore biased.
