'I Regret Everything': Frisco Realtor Jenna Ryan Says She Went to Capitol on Trump's Commands

Jenna Ryan has seen the light.

For months, prominent Republican lawmakers falsely claimed widespread voter fraud caused the election to be stolen from former President Donald Trump, leading to the siege of the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6. Ryan was there, too, but now claims she realizes she was a political pawn.

“I bought into a lie, and the lie is the lie, and it’s embarrassing,” the Frisco real estate broker said, according to an article published Wednesday by The Washington Post. “I regret everything.”

Ryan and several North Texas real estate agents took a private jet to Washington to attend the Jan. 6 “Stop the Steal” rally. It quickly degenerated into the first attack on the U.S. Capitol since 1814, when British soldiers set fire to the building.

Although she initially denied entering the Capitol, Ryan had livestreamed her trek inside. She narrated the action to her social media followers while squeezed among a throng of fellow Trump supporters.

fucking livestreamed herself doing it. There's no regret of action there, just regret of comeuppance.
