A Massachusetts woman who told police that she went to the U.S. Capitol to kill members of President Donald Trump's cabinet said she was influenced by Luigi Mangione, the man charged with fatally shooting the CEO of UnitedHealthcare, prosecutors said in a court filing.
Ryan Michael English, who goes by Riley English, was arrested Monday and remained in custody after her initial court appearance on Thursday. English didn't immediately challenge her pretrial detention, court records show.
English, 24, of South Deerfield, Massachusetts, told police that she felt like she was “on a mission” and “had been thinking about for this for a while because of Luigi Mangione,” prosecutors said. Mangione pleaded not guilty in December to state murder and terror charges in a Manhattan court.
“I pushed that away because I was thinking like that is so stupid, that accomplishes nothing, that poor kid just threw his life away for like a minute of vengeance,” English said, according to prosecutors.
English was arrested on weapons charges after she approached police at the Capitol and said she came there to kill billionaire investor Scott Bessent on the day that the Senate confirmed the South Carolina resident as Trump's treasury secretary, according to a Tuesday court filing.
Investigators said they found a folding knife, two homemade firebombs and a lighter in English’s possession.
English also said she traveled from Massachusetts to Washington, D.C., intending to kill other Republican political figures — Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and House Speaker Mike Johnson — and to burn down the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think tank, according to police. English changed her target to Bessent after reading an internet post about his confirmation hearing, police said.
English told officers that she was terminally ill and “wanted to do something before I go,” according to prosecutors.

NO, NOT a “women”, just another mentally deranged POS
“... said she (sic) was inspired by CEO slaying”
Not just that, I’m sure.
Also inspired by the hysterical, non-stop onslaught of Fake News anti-everything-Trump propaganda.
Is it a woman or a “woman?”
A woman ID’d as Ryan Michael English. Only in the lib media.
Oh, there is such a thing.
It exists.
From Tomboy to Girly Girl.
From Knuckle Dragger to Fine Artist.
There are boys by biology who aspire to be pretty.
They exist, acknowlege it and wish them no harm.
If you’ve ever been to the Monteray Aquarium you will fully understand diversity of life.
Andy Ngo had a major scoop, and ID’s those lunatics as part of a Berkely CA based group that basically sounds like some sort of personality cult.
No one else in the media is touching it.

Shouldn’t that be he ???
Another sweet democratic family member that you need to be nice to. They’re good patriotic people! /S
Apparently ‘pink’ thinks so as well since she said ‘ladies and gentlemen and all those other genders out there’ at the ‘fireaid’ concert for the calfire fund raiser. Haven’t seen the schedule for the NC all star ‘floodaid’ fundraiser yet...........
Trans is a legit term but the people for whom it is used have not transformed their sex, only superficial characteristics.
Man who would like to think we think he is a woman.
Last I checked, one can’t transform their actual gender. Cross dress and alter their physical being, yes.
When I was a young feller, I was ga-ga over the Tomboys. I thought they were so attractive.
Fire up Ol’ Sparky and fulfill her wish.
That’ll work!
