A Trump supporter who called the deadly assault on the United States Capitol "one of the best days of my life" is now claiming she regrets her decision to participate as she faces federal charges.

Jenna Ryan, a realtor from Texas, made headlines following the Jan. 6 riots at the Capitol for promoting her business in front of news cameras, posing for photos at the scene and bragging about flying a private jet to Washington, D.C.

She also tweeted about participating in the riots, saying, "We just stormed the Capital. It was one of the best days of my life," according to the FBI.

But now Ryan, 50, says she made a mistake.

"I bought into a lie, and the lie is the lie, and it's embarrassing," Ryan told the Washington Post. "I regret everything."

Ryan now feels abandoned, she told the Post.

"Not one patriot is standing up for me," she said. "I'm a complete villain. I was down there based on what my president said: 'Stop the steal.' Now I see that it was all over nothing. He was just having us down there for an ego boost. I was there for him."

Ms. Ryan did not sound like that when she first got arrested...I guess her lawyer told her that it may be a good idea to sound different now...For leniency in sentencing...

Some other people, who got arrested, are blaming Mr. Trump as well...Not just Ms. Ryan...

I just wonder how effective this strategy would be...Blaming President Trump...

Impeachment managers did mention her name several times...During the Senate trial...

Matthew 26:33

Peter replied, "Even if all fall away on account of you, I never will." "I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "This very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times." But Peter declared, "Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you." And all the other disciples said the same

Matthew 26:73

After a little while, those standing there went up to Peter and said, "Surely you are one of them, for your accent gives you away." Then he began to call down curses on himself and he swore to them, "I don't know the man!" Immediately a rooster crowed. Then Peter remembered the word Jesus had spoken: "Before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times." And he went outside and wept bitterly.

“Ryan told the Washington Post”

[Richard Axtell]

I see an excellent meme and t-shirt illustration here. The feeble won’t get it, the leftist won’t be able to deny it, without appearing feeble.

[nhbob1]

Sounds like she’s reading from a script provided by the friendly KGB er FBI officer who was threatening her existence.

[Revel]

Still waiting to hear about that female CNN reporter That was so proud to be inside the capital that day. “We did it”.

No word that she was arrested.

[Skywise]

You never hear these kind of confessions from Code Pink people...

Or Biden supporters...

Or even communist supporters...

[Berlin_Freeper]

A Trump supporter

That had to be established immediately.

[Meatspace]

Her legal bills will not be cheap.

said, "Doesnt matter what she says. She is politcal enemy number one. She will be persecuted."

exactly. The new Amarican Stasi will over charge these poor people. yeah I think they deserve misdemeanor charges for trespassing. That is a far cry for what they're likely going to be hit with.

I call them Stasi because that is what they used to do force people that committed minor offences to say things to fit their party line. Have them repeat it until they believe it. For some they would use them as examples
