things' or 'do damage': 'We were just there to overthrow the government'A Trump supporter said rioters were "just there to overthrow the government," a new book by Wall Street Journal reporter Michael Bender says.
Saundra Kiczenski, a 56-year-old from Michigan, told Bender she was "confident" that former President Donald Trump won the 2020 election, according to the book "Frankly, We Did Win This Election," published earlier this week.
"If someone put a gun to my head and said: 'Did Donald Trump win, yes or no? And if you're wrong, we're going to shoot your head off!' I would say 'yes,'" Kiczenski told Bender, according to an excerpt of the book that was published by The Washington Post. "I'm that confident that this stuff is not made up."
In the book, Bender detailed former President Donald Trump's effort to overturn the election after becoming the first incumbent in decades to fail to win reelection.

The most striking thing is that she rates 'overthrowing the government' as a lesser matter than theft and vandalism....

so the loser of the election could stay in office at least four more years. And now theyre all getting arrested! How is that even fair???

Of course, she'll deny she said it. "Fake book" or something.
But, I'm guessing her statement might be used as evidence against her.
