Convicted US Capitol rioter turns down Trump pardon: "We were wrong that day."
Former "Maga granny" Pamela Hemphill tells the BBC the Trump government is trying to "rewrite history".
Probably the only one of them who deserved a pardon.
Quite the catch, that Catch-22.
How the turn, tables.
Wow, respect
Honestly what a bad ass. It's not good she was part of J6, but owning up to takes some real self reflection you're not going to see in the new administration.
Also among those pardoned was one of the riot's most recognisable figures, Jacob Chansley, the self-styled QAnon Shaman, who was released from jail in 2023 after serving 27 months of his 41-month jail sentence.
He told the BBC that he heard the news from his lawyer while he was at the gym.
He added: "I walked outside and I screamed 'freedom' at the top of my lungs and then gave a good Native American war cry."
Of course he did.
It's great to see this, although it says she had a 60-day sentence. I wonder if she would feel the same if it was like 3 years or more.
Perhaps her short sentence was in part due to her contrition?
this feels like an onion article even though it isnt
They already tried to rewrite it when they said it was antifa, then the FBI.
