Hairdresser who described the Jan. 6 Capitol riot as the 'best day ever' gets 14 days in jail.
Like many Donald Trump supporters who stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, Dona Sue Bissey has promoted the QAnon conspiracy theory on social media. But the judge sentencing her Tuesday to 14 days in jail said it was for her actions, not her beliefs.
“The fact that she subscribes to bizarre conspiracy theories, that's her right. That's something she is allowed to do as an American,” Chutkan said. “It's one thing to believe in conspiracy theories in your basement. It's another thing to act out on them," he said. A core belief for QAnon followers is that Trump was secretly fighting a Satan-worshipping, child sex-trafficking cabal of prominent Democrats, Hollywood elites and “deep state” enemies. Pizzagate centered on the baseless belief that Democrats were running a child sex ring out of a pizza shop.
Bissey was jailed for two days after her arrest in February. In a letter to the judge, Bissey said some of her neighbors in Bloomfield, Indiana, have shunned her since the riot. She called herself a “God fearing, country loving, law abiding, hard working patriot."Some QAnon-linked defendants face significant prison time.
