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.

May God bless Dr. Gold. Never fear - the liars who’ve accused and imprisoned her will be judged eventually.

60 days in prison
That sounds really bad, but it's not true. No one goes to prison for 60 days, they go to a county or local jail.

Her 60 days in prison will be her badge of honor. I don’t think the Federales do any early releases.

As expected, an obama appointee. Also married to a woman (that is a surprise looking at his picture) who worked for Eric Holder.
