Dr. Simone Gold on Thursday was sentenced to two months in prison for speaking with a megaphone inside of the US Capitol on January 6.
In March Dr. Simone Gold pleaded guilty to a class A misdemeanor count, “entering and remaining in a restricted building charge.”
NBC News reported:
U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper in Washington, D.C., also sentenced Dr. Simone Gold to 12 months of supervised release after her 60-day prison term and ordered her to pay a $9,500 fine. She can report to prison at a date to be determined.
The judge told Gold that her anti-vaccine activism wasn’t a factor in her sentencing. Cooper said Gold wasn’t a “casual bystander” on Jan. 6.
The judge also said Gold’s organization has misled supporters into believing her prosecution was politically motivated and trampled on her free speech rights. Cooper called it “unseemly” that America’s Frontline Doctors has invoked the Capitol riot in raising money, including for her salary.
“I think that is a real disservice to the true victims of that day,” he said.
Dr. Simone Gold was in Washington DC on January 5th and 6th and spoke on the 5th at Freedom Plaza. Dr. Simone later entered the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 and delivered her same medical speech with a bullhorn from inside the U.S. Capitol.
Dr. Simone committed no acts of violence. She only wanted to push her medical opinion on the coronavirus. For this Dr. Gold was placed in the front row of the FBI’s most wanted release.

Unless you can demonstrate that all political demonstrators guilty of the same misdemeanor over the past year across the land received similar sentence I’ll continue to not give a crap what the sentencing guidelines in this case are.
In just about any place but the Capitol, probably not. But she scared the Congressmen and Senators. They're going to take that into account. Two months is probably the best she could hope for.
I highly doubt the courts are going to care what you or I think about their sentencing guidelines.
Who appointed this “judge”?
They should.
Who appointed this “judge”?
Obama appointed him.
Cooper is a Democrat hack with a black robe.
The first thing they should do when they're back in power is to arrest Steve Colbert for insurrection and hold him in solitary confinement without proper nutrition and medicine for a year and a half before he is tried.
What a joke this country has become!!!
Absolutely disgusted by what goes on here
Gold saved lives with her message.
We have some brave Americans stepping up at risk to themselves and their families. They are doing a hard thing.
Of course to a POS troll like yourself, the judge did let her off easy.
You can be an a$$hole.
If the police hold the door and wave you in, isn’t reasonable to assume you’re allowed in?
DEMOCRATS are LAW-LESS because REPUBLICANS are BALL-LESS!
A case of the pot calling the kettle black if ever there was one.
She made her decision, she should live with the consequences.
Good thing we aren't at war.
And NO mention that Dr. Gold went to the same law school as this judge and she refused to go on a date with him. I’m sure this does not factor in. But could it?
