An Idaho woman, who said she left the "MAGA cult" and pleaded guilty to her involvement in the January 6, 2021, U.S. Capitol siege, told Newsweek that she wants former President Donald Trump and other Republicans to stop using her as "propaganda."
Pam Hemphill, a 70-year-old Boise, Idaho, resident who was sentenced to 60 days in jail, 36 months of probation and fined $500 in restitution for her connection to the riots, called out the MAGA leader over a Sunday night post on his Truth Social platform where he appeared to be lamenting her punishment. Hemphill shot back, saying that she chose to plead guilty because she was.
