Daughter says she doesn’t regret outing pro-Trump mother who was punched in face in DC

The woman who publicly identified her mother as one of the participants of a clash between two groups in Washington DC a day ahead of the Capitol Hill riots, said she had gone through “a little guilt” but had no regret because what “they did was horrific.”

In a now-viral video, Theresa Duke, mother of Helena Duke, could be seen getting punched by a security guard outside the Capitol, where supporters of Donald Trump clashed with a counter-protest group on the day prior to the insurrection.

On 7 January, Helena shared the video of her mother, with the caption, “hi mom remember the time you told me I shouldn’t go to BLM protests bc they could get violent...this you?”

Providing more context on why she outed her mother, Helena said, “I think it was really liberating what I did because my mom has been really mentally abusive my whole life. And um, this was like going public, how she has treated me, so," she said. "I don’t think, I have any regrets,” she concluded.
