Blonde Capitol rioter now feels silenced. Says "not going to jail" tweet taken out of context.

Capitol rioter claims she's being silenced after getting backlash for tweet that said she wouldn't be jailed because she's white and blond (Business Insider)

In March, Jenna Ryan posted a tweet boasting that she was blond, white, and "definitely not going to jail." Nine months later, she says the backlash she got for that tweet is making her feel silenced.

When a critic on Twitter told Ryan, who had been charged in the Capitol riot, that she would go to jail, she responded: "Definitely not going to jail. Sorry I have blonde hair white skin a great job a great future and I'm not going to jail. Sorry to rain on your hater parade. I did nothing wrong."


In an interview with Insider, she said she now believes the tweet was "very dumb" but added that it was "taken out of context."

First, it's a tweet, so if you want context, develop a thread.
Second, she wrote it herself. What context was missed that SHE didn't provide?
I hope it was worth it, for someone whose life would be unaffected by whomever won the election.

make the worst of her gift offering did. She's obviously factionally well pickled, but she'd have to have been chopped up and turned into pickle dip to mean it literally.

Her big problem is she doesn't seem to know there's no way honest people could take any part of this that isn't very bad. As said, she needs to stop talking for her own good.

You take any possible situation you could imagine, and a Con will claim they're the victim. That's what they build their entire lives around, victimhood and claiming they're the ones who should feel aggrieved.

You'd think she got sent to Gulag for 15 years from all her whining and carrying on about it. Why is Business Insider even treating this nonsense as a story? WHY ARE WE????

Realizing you need to STFU is not "being silenced."
Notice it's always the passive voice with these idiots. She's being silenced, by whom? She's every 3rd grade bully who can dish it out but can't take it.

She touted her whiteness and privilege, and it bit her in the ass.

bwahahahahahaha

As for being misunderstood ( "out of context" ).

Her ad hoc explanation and filler for all the "context" that she feels people didn't get wasn't got because she said exactly what she meant the first time around.

In other words, she believes the propaganda and can't fathom that a reality exists that Fox never showed her.

of course we can't give them 'hard time' (like black people get) it would mess up their precious lives.

Imagine if BLM did this insurrection? There would've been alot more bodies on the ground (National Guard and police would've opened fire) and those that remained would've received long prison sentences.
