Texan who promoted realty business in US Capitol riot pleads guilty

Jenna Ryan, 51, chartered a private plane from Dallas to Washington and meticulously documented her journey — including with a 21-minute live Facebook video where she didn't let the budding insurrection slow down her self-promotion.

“We are going to fucking go in here. Life or death, it doesn’t matter. Here we go,” Ryan told viewers as she was walked up the steps at the Capitol, according to an FBI affidavit.
“Y’all know who to hire for your Realtor. Jenna Ryan for your Realtor.”

On Twitter the following day, Ryan said that storming the Capitol was one of the best days of her life and she later defended her decision in an interview with Fox4, saying that she “was doing her duty to her president.”

When told by a Twitter user in March that she was going to jail, Ryan denied blame.
“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,” Ryan tweeted. “Sorry to rain on your hater parade. I did nothing wrong.”
Ryan has accepted a guilty plea for parading, demonstrating or picketing in the Capitol.
She could face up to six months in jail, though prosecutors are not recommending prison time.

So she was right, she has blonde hair and white skin, so she’s not going to jail.

Sickening. I hope the judge doesn’t accept the plea without jail time.

It is just unbelievable. The judge still has the ability to send her in ans I pray he/she does.
