"Trump will probably say that ungrateful lady, I'm going to make sure she gets back on probation and give her the worst you can give her. I won't be surprised," she said.
Thanks, Ms. Hemphill, for restoring a modicum of my hope that at least one MAGA person can exercise the necessary self reflection to become rational and personally accountable for their actions.
- one of the few people that self-reflects, instead of reflecting deflecting consequences.
Good for her.
- Don't think I'm that principled.
"We all know that they're gaslighting us. They are using January 6 to just continue Trump's narrative that the Justice Department was weaponized," she said. "They were not. When the FBI came to my home, oh my God, they were very professional. They treated me very good."
Hemphill pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge for her role in the crowd on Jan. 6, 2021.
Ironically, the reason she refused the pardon is a reason to pardon her.
