A Kentucky nurse who was fired after admitting she entered the U.S. Capitol during last week’s violent insurrection says she’d do it all over again.
Lori Vinson, of Morganfield, Kentucky, told WFIE she’s glad she attended the Jan. 6 riot because it’s a moment she’ll remember 30 years from now.
“People have asked, ‘Are you sorry you’ve done that?’” Vinson said. “Absolutely I am not. I am not sorry for that, I would do it again tomorrow.”
After the unrest, Vinson said she was fired from her nursing job at Ascension St. Vincent in Evansville, Indiana, on Jan. 8.
Despite being unemployed, she said she has no regrets.
“I was there for a peaceful protest and that’s what I was doing,” she told the outlet. “I felt like I have done nothing wrong and I wouldn’t change it.”
The nurse added she felt like a tourist at the Capitol, claiming that police didn’t stop the crowd from entering the building.
“The doors were open, people were filing through, there were no signs that said, ‘Do not enter,’” she told WZTV. “There were no cops saying, ‘Don’t come in.’”
Vinson claimed the FBI contacted her but that she hasn’t been charged with any federal crimes yet.

1 person was killed in connection with the "riot". The woman who was murdered by capital police. A policeman died, he was not hit with a fire extinguisher, he died of natural causes (life insurance may be why they claim other). The other 3 people died of emergencies that were not quickly attended. Again, there was only 1 death connected to the "riot".
Let’s find her a better job.
I was at the Capitol building that day (never went inside) but I can tell you that I did not see any violence whatsoever. Certainly there was a lot of loud chanting, that you would normally hear at any protest. But no threats of violence like you would hear at a BLM rally or some such.
Also, cell coverage was near non-existent. I could not pull up anything on social media on my phone so I did not hear about the shooting of that woman until I was on my way back to the Metro to head home. I didn't even know that anybody was actually INSIDE the Capitol. I was shocked to find out later that hundreds of people were walking around in there. I did not get any indication of that from my vantage point. But I could see clearly all the people filling the bleachers and trying to get up on the Capitol steps.
It was a mostly peaceful demonstration.
America was born out of a riot. Look it up!

Thanks for sharing your first hand account. It sheds a great deal of light on what the day was like for the vast majority of protesters.
Wow..you are so right
AWESOME
It was a protest not a riot. Granted, the sanctity of the holy and sacred lectern was defiled, but nobody knew it was a holy relic until after the fact.
THAT is a fantastic point!
It’sh dedicated to Our Lady of the Sheventy Sheven Flavorsh, hallowed be her name.
There are plenty of videos out there showing what happened. The only reason people here are taking the side they are is they dong WANT to watch them. It ruins the narrative. It would mean you have to watch raw, unedited footage rather than propaganda from OAN or Newsmax.
Then you made my point-she didn’t stay between the ropes. She broke the law and deserves what she got. Every legal expert-including Jay Sekulow disagreed with Trump about Pences role-yet these people were ready to kill him because Trump was angry at him. It’s disgusting and people here are the reason this party is done and won’t ever be a viable party in the future. Posts like yours are one. Congratulations-you helped bring down the Republic because we elected a man who never read “every thing I ever learned I learned in Kindergarten”.
“...she deserved what she got...”
You are mentally ill and despotic. Your writing makes no sense. I watched the videos from different angles. You should just shut your filthy communist mouth.
I’ve a long 22 year history of speaking out for conservative government here. I said he was a Democrat when he ran.
And if he loves America-why did have a habit of refusing to pay hardworking Americans for the work they did for him? That’s a matter of fact. Look it up
Regarding the videos: there are plenty of videos of Oath Keepers and people who are Trump supporters out there who are rioting. If you don’t see that it’s because 1) you don’t want to see it; 2) you are an idiot or 3) you are gaslighting people to do intentional propaganda.
But I do like how your small brain immediately goes to the “commie”card. So original!
What she did goes directly AGAINST what the President said - DIRECTLY. She was not alone as many videos show. Therefore - she deserves what she got - because she got exactly what he was calling for others to get all summer - as were you all.
By his own definition - she was not a true supporter - because she IGNORED law enforcements commands to HALT - and proceeded through that window. Isn't that what we have heard for years on this site?
Being a hypocrite now? The President says we don't do that. Is he wrong - or lying?
You mean like the Al-Aqsa mosque after Israel became a nation again?. Like your writing style!
