Courthouse News reports:
A South Carolina couple who yelled “This is war! We’re storming the Capitol” and then later posted on Facebook that the event was completely peaceful, pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor count of parading, demonstrating or picketing in a Capitol building on Thursday.
“Us patriots were peaceful and literally sharing hand warmers and singing and being vocal. Not one weapon. Not one fire,” Stacie Hargis-Getsinger wrote on Facebook.
Stacie, who sells exotic pets for a living, posted that some of the people near the Capitol building looked like members of Antifa. The couple faces up to six months in prison, though will likely receive a much milder sentence.
