Stephanie Baez, who was recorded saying she was “looking for a Proud Boy,” was arrested today in Alabama in connection with the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.

"The defendant further claimed that she had authority to be inside the Capitol because she had looked up the Capitol's hours ahead of time and confirmed that the Capitol would be open... The defendant later stated that it is possible that she read the website wrong.”

"Nah. I'll be fine. I'm not on Twitter and I doubt anyone would recognize me. I mean, they can do ahead and do whatever, I practice my 2nd amendment.”

"I'm in the first pic. I'm so proud!"

“It’s my proudest moment. Just sucks they used such a horrible pic, I want to send them the one of me in my USA bikini and be like ‘here, please use this at least lol.’”

The feds may have missed it, but Stephanie Baez was apparently also photographed by the AP ahead of Jan. 6. independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…
