Dr. Simone Gold, a Beverly Hills woman known for spreading debunked claims about Covid-19 was sentenced on Thursday to 60 days in prison for illegally entering and remaining in the US Capitol during the January 6 insurrection.
Gold, founder of the group America’s Frontline Doctors, was also ordered to pay a $9,500 fine – the largest fine imposed to date among the almost 200 rioters who have been sentenced.
“Your organization is leaving people with the misimpression that this is a political prosecution or that it’s about free speech,” district Judge Christopher Cooper said as he imposed the sentence, slamming America’s Frontline Doctors fundraising efforts that call January 6 “political persecution.”
Cooper called the fundraising efforts, which have raised more than $400,000, “unseemly” and a “disservice to the true victims that day.”
“It ain’t about free speech,” Cooper added. “January 6 was about a lot of things, but it wasn’t about free speech or Covid vaccinations… the only reason you are here is where and when and how you chose to express your views.”
Gold spoke at the January 5 Stop the Steal rally the day before the riot, telling the crowd that “if you don’t want to take an experimental biological agent deceptively named a vaccine, you must not allow yourself to be coerced!”
The next day, according to prosecutors, she and her co-defendant John Strand joined a group of rioters who pushed past a group of officers attempting to stop the mob from breaching the Capitol. Once inside, Gold spoke through a megaphone to a crowd gathered in Statuary Hall.
Strand has pleaded not guilty.
In 2020, Gold made headlines after appearing in a viral video – which then-President Donald Trump retweeted – that was later removed from numerous social media sites for Covid misinformation.

Isn’t his Judge Cooper guy the one they just caught on “To Catch A Predator” and the FBI took over and destroyed all the evidence when he was caught trying to Hook Up with a 10 yr old Boy????

Meanwhile, the violent rioters of summer 2020, who burned buildings, looted stores, assaulted people, raped, and killed, with the material help of the democrats, are not in jail.

Dr. Gold is a heroine, as most of America knows. Her censors and bad apple guilty as can be government officials and jailers should rot in prison for the rest of their lies for their lies and plotting and persecution of an early and continuous voice of real science and just plain common sense. Think of how many people would not have died, if Dr. Gold’s speech were not censored by them.
Maybe it is wrong of me, but I often pray that I live to see the corrupt liars punished who are persecuting Americans for exercising their rights.
@ 38 For...the...Win!
what a load of sh*t.
no one pushed passed the 'guards'. and absolutely no one opened the 2,000 pound doors without first releasing the magnetic lock from the inside.
There was NO riot.
Simone Gold is a Patriot and a Hero. Any suggestions as to how to support please chime in.
Ah, so now we know the real reason they persecuted this guy.
He had zero chance of being acquitted.
Wow
just Wow
she is a hero to anybody with common sense
There is very little common sense left in this country...seriously.
So how many Doctors are they hunting down? If you can think for yourself and have a half brain, that’s it? We’re friggin China now- march like good little soldiers or else
Dr. Gold and all the rest of the persecuted must be generously compensated for this travesty of justice.
Half of them are cowering in the corner shaking incessantly about what the media will say about them.
The other half is at their stockbrokers acting on newly discovered, secret trading tips.
What a country it has become...
The pledge of allegience has been replaced by the communists' demand to:
Bow down!... Obey!... Snitch!...
What "debunked" claims? The author makes this statement, as if it's fact.
aplaud => applaud
allegience==> allegiance
Complete BS. But a "teaching moment" it is. Take note.. d;^)
