Pardoned J6 Protester Calls Out Ex-Proud Boy Leader In Rant Against ‘Weaponized’ DOJ Narrative: ‘You Are Lying About Everything!’
Pardoned January 6th protester Pam Hemphill shut down the idea that the Justice Department was “weaponized” against Capitol rioters and called out ex-Proud Boy leader Enrique Tarrio for “lying.”
As a once staunch Trump supporter and dubbed “MAGA Granny” online, Hemphill was sentenced to 60 days in prison, 36 months of probation, and $500 in restitution after participation in the riot in 2021.
She was among those pardoned by President Donald Trump at the start of his second term.
Hemphill publicly distanced herself from Trump both during and after her incarceration, expressing regret for her actions. Notably, she rejected calls for a presidential pardon.
Appearing on CNN Thursday, Hemphill emphasized personal accountability for her role in the riot.
It’s horrifying. No, it should never have happened. I pleaded guilty because I was guilty. I’m not a victim of January the 6th, and the DOJ was not weaponized against me. I was a volunteer. I broke the law. It’s that easy. And they do not want to face that.
Pressed by host Abby Phillip on criticism leveled at her by Tarrio for speaking out, Hemphill said that she hated “bullies” and her critics don’t like that she is “destroying their narrative.”
I don’t like bullies. I’m not afraid of them. I’m upset that Trump lied that the election was stolen. That’s why I was there. And what’s happening is I’m destroying their narrative and they don’t like it. Too bad.
Addressing Tarrio directly, she continued: “I’m going to continue to destroy your narrative because you’ve been lying about everything that happened on January the 6th.”
“I’ve had a year and a half of pushing back on you and researching, and everything you have shared, Tarrio, saying you didn’t get due process. I looked up the court recordings. You got due process. You are lying about everything on that day,” she said.
