If being an active participant of the deadly January 6th insurrection wasn’t enough, now J.R. Majewski is promising members of the dangerous “Loud Majority” far-right group “ready access” to him and to the US Capitol if he wins in November.
Majewski’s failed attempts to lie to voters about his extremism is clearly no match for his disturbing allegiance to violent far-right conspiracy peddlers, even as threats to democracy are one of the major motivating issues for voters this cycle.
“He said it himself: If elected, Majewski is letting his fellow insurrectionists storm right back into the halls of Congress. Majewski is a serious threat to our safety, and Ohio voters will reject this extremist,” said DCCC spokesperson Nebeyatt Betre.

Media Matters: J.R. Majewski to January 6 insurrectionist group: You’ll have “ready access to me at all times” in Congress
BY Eric Hananoki
Sept 20
- Republican congressional nominee and former right-wing streamer J.R. Majewski recently appeared on the streaming program of Long Island Loud Majority, a right-wing group that said it had hundreds of members in D.C. during the January 6 insurrection. During the show, Majewski praised the group’s founders and told them that they would have “ready access to me at all times” when he gets “into office.”
-
Majewski’s support for the group is on-brand: He himself is a January 6 insurrectionist. Majewski admitted that he crossed the police barricade and said he “wanted nothing more than to go” into the Capitol building. (Majewski stated he ultimately stayed outside because he was with people who “had physical limitations.”)
-
Majewski, who is running for a competitive House seat in Ohio, is a former QAnon-supporting streamer. He also said while a guest on a QAnon streaming program: “I believe in everything that’s been put out from Q.”
- The Southern Poverty Law Center listed Loud Majority as an anti-government group that is “part of the antidemocratic hard right movement.”
