A California doctor who is a leading figure in the anti-vaccine movement was sentenced on Thursday to two months in prison for storming the U.S. Capitol, where she delivered speeches to rioters during the mob's attack.

U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper in Washington, D.C., also sentenced Dr. Simone Gold to 12 months of supervised release after her 60-day prison term and ordered her to pay a $9,500 fine. She can report to prison at a date to be determined.

Gold, a former emergency room physician, said she deeply regrets entering the Capitol during the riot on Jan. 6, 2021, and didn't intend to get involved in an event that was “so destructive to our nation.”

“It's the opposite of who I am,” she told Cooper.

Didn't intend to, just got caught up in the moment. Right?

1. Good riddance. Sixty days in lock-up certainly will put her at risk for COVID-19.

Perhaps she'll have time to think about that and the damage she's done to countless people with her lies and quackery.

2. A doctor who opposes vaccines and ignores a cop getting beat down in front of them

From the article, "But prosecutors say she entered the Capitol immediately after a law enforcement officer was assaulted and dragged to the ground in front of her." Between this, the criminal conviction, and the opposition to vaccines, California's medical board should review whether she deserves to keep a medical license.

5. If she's truly remorseful will she return that $430,000 to donors?

Fake regret if I've ever seen any......
