"I am truly sorry from the bottom of my heart for being part of the mob that put you and so many officers in danger. I want the Capitol police to know how truly grateful I am to them and how deeply sorry I am, Hemphill said to the January 6th Committee, which reconvened on the fifth anniversary of the attack on the U.S. Capitol."
"Once I got away from the MAGA cult and started educating myself about January the 6th, I knew what I did was wrong. I pleaded guilty to my crimes because I did the crime. I received due process, and the DOJ was not weaponized against me. When Donald Trump pardoned us, I rejected the pardon. Accepting that pardon would be lying about what happened on January the 6th. I am guilty, and I own that guilt."
Pamela Hemphill apologized to Capitol Police and sought forgiveness for participating in the January 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol. Hemphill identified herself as a mother, grandmother, cancer survivor, and retired addiction counselor and acknowledged being a convicted criminal who pleaded guilty and wants to make amends. She described traveling from Idaho to see Donald Trump speak and said she had been influenced by lies and gaslighting from local supporters. Hemphill rejected a presidential pardon as dishonest, expressed gratitude to Capitol Police, and said the Department of Justice treated her fairly while she testified on the attack's fifth anniversary.
