Woman allegedly heard during Capitol riot saying she was looking for Pelosi 'to shoot her

Feds charge woman allegedly heard during Capitol riot saying she was looking for Pelosi 'to shoot her in the friggin' brain'

By Paul P. Murphy, CNN 13 hrs ago



Dawn Bancroft, seen here in an frame from a video referenced in the criminal complaint from the Justice Department.

The woman, Dawn Bancroft, was charged along with Diana Santos-Smith for violent entry on Capitol grounds, remaining in a restricted area and disorderly conduct in a restricted building.

In an affidavit, investigators cited a "selfie" video they say was taken by Bancroft. Investigators claim she is heard saying, "We broke into the Capitol. ... We got inside, we did our part."

"We were looking for Nancy to shoot her in the friggin' brain, but we didn't find her," Bancroft says, according to the affidavit.

Santos-Smith told investigators that she and Bancroft did not go into any chambers or offices, and that the two were inside the Capitol for less than a minute.

CNN reached out to Bancroft and Santos-Smith for comment but did not immediately hear back. According to the Justice Department, the two women were arrested on Friday.

5 part interview she did with Howard Stern in December 2019. I watched it last night and it was incredible for its depth and humanity.

I have much harsher words to describe them but as they say, they are so profound and disgusting that the decorum prohibits me from listing them here.

be seen that they forgot that little matter called self incrimination. Of course being seen is profitable on social media/youtube.

Hope she enjoys years in prison.

...They read so much of that goofy Q shit that they fully expected they were going to win and Trump would get 4 more years and democrats in congress would be arrested among other bizarre things. It never seems to have occurred to them that they would face any consequences for their actions. Of course it didn't help that most of them seem to be A. very stupid and B. so loaded to the gills on white privilege that they don't even think laws apply to them.

for every action so think long and hard before making decisions and never follow the crowd.

These people are beyond crazy. I wonder if they would have robbed a bank in a similar matter.

What were they going to shoot Pelosi with?

Did they carry guns on themselves or staged in Boebert's/Green's offices?
