After confessing, 71-year-old Pamela Hemphill, another rioter, turned down the pardon for her involvement in the events.
She said online that she turned down the pardon as “we were wrong that day. We broke the law; pardons should not exist.
Since I was guilty, I turned myself in. “Accepting a pardon would only help to further their gaslighting and false narrative.”
She noted that in accepting the pardons, it would be a ‘insult the Capitol police officers, the rule of law, and, of course, our nation’.
