Simone Gold

After she pushed her way into the US Capitol on January 6, 2021, she yelled in the Rotunda, “I am a Stanford-educated attorney!” before giving speeches to passing rioters complaining about vaccine mandates and urging the use of the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine for Covid treatment. She spent an hour in the Capitol that day, pushing her way to the door of the House chamber as members of Congress fled the violent mob. In March 2022 Gold pleaded guilty to a federal misdemeanor for illegally entering a restricted building during the insurrection. June 16, 2022 Simone Gold was sentenced to 60 days in jail.
