MAGA rioter complains that Googling her name always brings up links to her insurrection arrest:

MAGA rioter complains that Googling her name always brings up links to her insurrection-related arrest

A woman arrested for taking part in the January 6th Capitol riots is now complaining that doing a Google search for her name retrieves multiple links related to her arrest.

In a court filing flagged by CBS News' Scott MacFarlane, attorneys representing Capitol rioter Dawn Bancroft argued that she deserved leniency in her sentencing because she had already suffered grievous harms for her actions.

Among other things, the attorneys argued that "when Googling [Bancroft's] name, she will always be tied to her actions on January 6th."

In fact, a quick Google search for "Dawn Bancroft" reveals this to be the case, as all nine first-page links in the results are related to Bancroft's arrest.

It took me only a couple minutes. I searched under "wanted to shoot Nancy Pelosi", "whining about being on a google search for 1/6", and three others. I will do this every day for a month. DUers, let's do our part to help Dawn remain (in)famous!

Of course if the searcher is a Trumper, she'll look like a hero to them.

The people were so nice when I lived there. That cult infection gets around. Is she's ashamed because of the Googling or is she ashamed because she participated and wanted to kill Nancy Pelosi? It's all about her (and Trump).

What an awful soup of people MAGAts are. White supremacists, business owners, incels, Putinists, fascists, Christian nationalists - all infecting and reinforcing their grievances and hatreds.

Remember shortly after the insurrection I think PBS or somebody had that documentary about the ordinary people from mostly blue states that apparently were prominent in the groups of insurrectionists whose main grievance seemed to be they didn't feel heard where they lived? Funny, most of these people don't seem ordinary at all.

All of the links on Ecosia and DuckDuckGo are also about how you're a violent traitor who threatened to shoot people in the head. So it's not just Google. Every search engine tells people that you're a lowlife. FAFO

Oh, and fuck your feelings.

54. GOP rechose her as a party committeewoman despite her guilty plea
Sat Sep 10, 2022, 05:03 AM
Sep 2022
A Republican committeewoman from Doylestown Borough is facing calls for her resignation from local Democratic leaders after being sentenced to 60 days in jail for entering the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection.

While Dawn Bancroft, 60, will face three years’ probation as part of her July 21 sentencing, the misdemeanor charge she pleaded guilty to in September won’t prevent her from serving as a local committeewoman, or in other elected office. She won the post in the May 17 primary.
...
“(Bancroft) is completely unfit to serve as a committeeperson of any party. Her actions on Jan. 6, 2021, including her stated desire that day to find and shoot Speaker Nancy Pelosi, disqualify her from holding any position,” Santarsiero, of Lower Makefield, said. “The Bucks GOP should take swift action to remove her as a committeeperson.“
...
Bancroft won the GOP committee seat in Doylestown Borough Ward 2 Precinct 2 while awaiting sentencing, winning with 102 votes to her opponent Danielle Labrake’s 90 votes, according to county election results.

https://eu.buckscountycouriertimes.com/story/news/politics/elections/local/2022/08/05/bucks-county-democrats-jan-6-protestor-dawn-bancroft-resign-from-republican-committee/65391848007/

So no, I don't think her infamy has made her suffer at all. Glad to see she's getting 2 months in jail; this says she was expected to surrender "after Labor Day".
