The Washington Post reports:

A Pennsylvania woman who entered the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot and later recorded herself saying she wanted to shoot House Speaker Nancy Pelosi “in the frigging brain” has been sentenced to 60 days behind bars.

Dawn Lee Bancroft, 59, of Doylestown was also sentenced to three years probation and 100 hours of community service and ordered to pay a restitution of $500.

Bancroft told the court that she regretted her decisions, explaining that her gym she owns had lost its CrossFit affiliation since she was charged and that she and her adult children have often been harassed or threatened. In May, Bancroft won a primary race to be the Republican candidate for committeeperson in Doylestown Borough’s 2nd District.
