A Jan. 6 rioter who served prison time embraced former President Donald Trump during his visit to New Hampshire on Thursday.
Trump made a campaign stop at the Red Arrow Diner in Manchester, where Micki Larson-Olson, who was sentenced to six months in prison following her arrest on Jan. 6, 2021, greeted him. In a video, others at the diner were heard introducing her to Trump as “a Jan sixer.” The former president then singled her out and told her to “hang in there.”

The convict, guilty of a misdemeanor for unlawful entry, claims to have “no regrets” for her actions on behalf of Trump, whom she considers the “real president,” per a Friday interview with NBC News. Larson-Olson went on to say that the lawmakers who prevented Trump from becoming president for a second term are guilty of treason.

“The punishment for treason is death, per the Constitution,” Larson-Olson said. “I believe every single person, every single person that stole a voice from our collective voice of ‘We the people, of the people, for the people, by the people,’ deserves death, and no less than that.”
She also said she “would like a front seat of Mike Pence being executed.” She called him the first person on her list.
Larson-Olson requested a photo with Trump on Thursday, and the former president accepted before embracing her. At the time, Larson-Olson was wearing a red, white, and blue wig, similar to the one she wore on the day six officers arrested her after they caught her on the scaffolding set up for President Joe Biden’s inauguration.

“My only regret is that I wasn’t stronger, that I couldn’t hold on longer,” Larson-Olson said. She also mentioned that she egged the officers on to shoot her as she clung to the scaffolding.
The Trump campaign did not respond to the Washington Examiner’s request for comment.
