Jake Lang’s Sick Stunt Sparks Outrage Over George Floyd Mockery
In a wild move that’s being posted all over social media, Jake Lang, a well-known January 6 rioter and Trump pardon recipient, is facing major heat after posting a tone-deaf video. The clip shows him kneeling on a fellow Capitol rioter’s back—a stunt he says proves Derek Chauvin didn’t kill George Floyd.

The video, shot outside Big Spring Federal Correctional Institution in Texas—where Chauvin is locked up—features Lang on Phillip Anderson’s back. Anderson, a Black man, willingly took part in the spectacle. Lang used the footage to push his debunked conspiracy: that George Floyd died from drugs, not Chauvin’s knee pressed into his neck for nine excruciating minutes.
Social media was quick to rip him to shreds.
“This ain’t science. It’s stupidity,” one user tweeted.
“He’s not even on the man’s neck,” another added. And the most biting one? “Now press his neck against the ground, bear down with your full weight, and stay there for nine minutes.”
Lang’s weak attempt to rewrite history fell flat. The kneeling only lasted a few seconds. It wasn’t on the neck. And it damn sure wasn’t lethal. Yet he framed it like it debunked the entire trial and verdict that sent Chauvin to prison for over two decades.
Social Media Claps Back HARD at Lang’s Disrespectful Video
Lang’s footage didn’t go unnoticed—and it definitely didn’t go unpunished by the internet. Across X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and TikTok, people dragged him for what they called a racially insensitive, unscientific, and straight-up dumb PR stunt.
People weren’t just mad. They were heartbroken, tired, and disgusted.
“This is the DUMBEST SH-T EVER!” one person shouted. “Notice how he is NOT on his neck; he is on his shoulder blades.”
Even folks who usually don’t comment on political mess couldn’t hold back. The fact that a man who stormed the Capitol is now trying to rewrite the reality of a Black man’s death is wild. And the fact that Phillip Anderson—who is Black—played along, only made the situation more bizarre.
Lang’s goal? To paint Chauvin as a victim of cancel culture and Floyd as the one to blame.
Why Jake Lang’s Video Misses the Whole Point
Here’s the thing: George Floyd’s murder wasn’t just about “kneeling”. It was about oppression. It was about the deliberate, extended force used against a man begging for his life. It was about nine minutes and twenty-nine seconds of brutality. The whole world watched that video. And what Jake Lang did was disrespect not just George Floyd’s memory, but the entire Black community.
