The father took part in the January 6 storming of the Capitol. His son turned him in to the FBI. Now that Donald Trump has pardoned him, Guy Reffitt and his wife are hoping for a return to normalcy - and fearful that it way never come.

What he did, says the son, was terrible. And he would do it again.

He didn’t do anything wrong, says the father. He has no regrets.

Maybe, says the mother, everything will be okay again one day, with the family again sitting together under the Christmas tree or sharing a turkey dinner on Thanksgiving.

But it’s not going to be easy.

"I love my son,” says the mother. "And I stand by my husband.”

Father, mother, son and two daughters. This is the story of the Reffitt family from Texas.

1. A&&hole won't ever be able to get a job or anything like that (the father). Anyone who participated in the chaos of

the day these thugs invaded the Capital because they were mad, etc. and ended up hurting people deserve every bit of time in jail. tRUMP's pardon of thugs like this shouldn't be allowed.
