On January 6, 2021, was a dark day for our country. A peaceful transfer of power was disrupted violently by a mob that swarmed the United States Capitol and overwhelmed the law enforcement officers. The will of the American people was subverted by the mob.

The mob disrespected our government institution.
According to the government, Hentschel and Pryer drove from Missouri to Washington, D.C. to attend the pro-Trump rally. They joined the crowd of protesters who entered restricted grounds at the Capitol and ascended the stairs on the east side of the building.
According to the documents, the women were among an increasingly agitated and rowdy crowd that frequently clashed with police and caused multiple breeches at the Rotunda Doors.
The movement of the crowd forced the two women into the building. The documents show that their entrance was just minutes after the Rotunda doors were broken.
There were clear signs of violence when they entered the building. There were shards of glass on the floor. Police were attacked minutes before they entered the building. The officers were still fighting with the rioters when they entered.
The women left the building after about eight minutes.

The events that took place on January 6, 2021, were described in a statement by Hentschel.
She said she was ashamed to go inside the Capitol that day. My heart goes out to the Capitol police who risked their lives that day, as well as all the other people who were affected by this.
I think I should be held accountable. Being an American means honoring the constitution and laws, and conducting myself in a way that honors the principals that govern us. I will not do that again.
Pryer apologized in a note for her involvement in the riot.
She said she went to D.C. to support her beliefs. I didn't go to cause any harm. The other people around us wound me up that day. Everything happened so fast, it was so chaotic.
The actions I took on January 6th were not acceptable. I intended to peacefully protest. I want to change. I apologize for any harm I have done. I want the people I upset to forgive me.
