A 70-year-old Texas woman who allegedly said to a police officer that “blue lives matter” before completely disregarding his order that she leave the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6 is now facing possible jail time.
Judy Fraize, 70, joined the riotous crowd of Donald Trump supporters that day who overwhelmed police and violently broke into the Capitol building as Congress had begun to certify Joe Biden’s 2020 presidential election win. The breach brought proceedings to a halt and forced lawmakers and Capitol staffers to either flee the building or shelter in place for hours.
Exactly six months later, Fraize spoke with FBI investigators and admitted she entered the building, according to a probable cause affidavit in support of her arrest.
