Accused Capitol rioter charged with killing Missouri mom in drunken car crash

A rioter charged in the Jan. 6 attack on the US Capitol killed a mom in a drunken driving accident in Missouri on Wednesday night while out on bond, according to police.

Emily Hernandez, 22, who was photographed waving a sign from House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s office after breaching the building, was driving her Volkswagen the wrong way down a street in Franklin County at around 7 p.m., when she crashed into a Buick, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.

On Jan. 15, Hernandez was previously charged with disorderly conduct, knowingly entering a restricted building without lawful authority, stealing, and disruptive conduct for her role in the riot, according to charging documents.

But she was later freed on bond, which Wilson’s heartbroken mom, Tonie Donaldson, called ridiculous Thursday.

“Why is she still out?” Donaldson fumed to the St Louis Post-Dispatch. “With what she did to the government, why is she still walking the street?”

“To me, she’s a piece of [s–t]. At 7 o’clock, you’re drunk and she got on the highway drunk?” she said.
