It's rare....a Jan 6 rioter who finally saw the error of her ways, left the MAGA movement in her rearview mirror, and told Trump to go fuck himself with his pardon.
If more Trump supporters were as wise as Ms. Hemphill and willing to learn from their mistakes, then this country would be a much better place.
From the article --
Though Hemphill was a defendant of the largest criminal prosecution in American history, she is seemingly standing alone now as the only Jan. 6 defendant to refuse the clemency Mr. Trump offered.
Speaking with CBS News from her home in Idaho, Hemphill said, "The pardons just contribute to their narrative, which is all lies, propaganda. We were guilty, period."
"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 has sparred on social media and in podcasts with other Jan. 6 defendants over her arguments about what she says is the whitewashing of the Capitol riot. In one segment on a podcast earlier this spring, Hemphill debated Enrique Tarrio, a former Proud Boys leader who was convicted at trial and received the longest prison sentence of any Jan. 6 defendant. Tarrio's sentence was commuted by Mr. Trump.
Hemphill told CBS News she expects her protest will garner the attention of the president.
"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.
