U.S. wants prison time for rioter who said she would 'absolutely' storm Capitol again

A Texas flower shop owner who bragged about storming the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, and said she'd "absolutely" do it again should be sentenced to 75 days behind bars, federal prosecutors said Wednesday.

Justice Department attorneys argued that Jenny Cudd — a Donald Trump supporter who admitted that she called for a "revolution" before the Jan. 6 attack, said rioters "did break down" the door of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and said in an interview that she would storm the Capitol again "in a heartbeat" — should serve 75 days in prison, followed by supervised release for 12 months.

Cudd, who was granted permission in February 2021 to go to Mexico for a "bonding retreat" with her employees, said in a social media video after the riot that former Vice President Mike Pence had "betrayed" the "patriots."
