Convicted US Capitol rioter turns down Trump pardon

[Pelle Svanslös]

One of the people who served jail time for taking part in the US Capitol
riot four years ago has refused a pardon from President Donald Trump,
saying: "We were wrong that day."

Pamela Hemphill, who pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 60 days in
prison, told the BBC that there should be no pardons for the riot on 6
January 2021.

"Accepting a pardon would only insult the Capitol police officers, rule
of law and, of course, our nation," she said.

"I pleaded guilty because I was guilty, and accepting a pardon also
would serve to contribute to their gaslighting and false narrative."

Hemphill, who was nicknamed the "Maga granny" by social media users - in
reference to Trump's "make America great again" slogan - said she saw
the Trump government as trying to "rewrite history and I don't want to
be part of that".
