Reporter tracks down Jan. 6 protester who told her to ‘run’
On Jan. 6, 2021, an angry mob of Donald Trump supporters swarmed a CBC News crew working near Capitol Hill. Nearly four years later, reporter Katie Nicholson tracked down one of the people who surrounded her that day to find out what she’s thinking heading into another volatile U.S. presidential election.
Was worth the watch for the emotional contortions the supporter twists herself into when confronted by one of the people she threatened, her Democrat-voting husband dealing with it all, and that messed up Trump paraphernalia store.

Our voices didn't matter. It didn't matter how we voted.
My suspicion is that she feels that way because she lost. A wild guess, but I think she's so selfish that she can't imagine other people's voice/desires mattering as much as her own personal wishes; their votes shouldn't count like her's does.
As someone who voted for Al Gore and Hillary Clinton, I know how she feels.
Fair. But I think the reason behind that feeling is different between the two of you. One is internal, the other is systemic. Though I guess if you were to ask her, she'd say the same thing in reverse.
She can say whatever she wants, but she's a god damn idiot, and no one smashed any windows at the capital when the voice of the people was actually ignored.
I realize I sound somewhat hostile, and it's not directed at you. People like her just really piss me off.
