“FUCKING TRAITOR, GET THE FUCK OUT!”

Sandy Pomeroy Weyer was arrested in Pennsylvania today in connection with an assault on a New York Times photographer during the U.S. Capitol attack.

“I seen no riots. I saw Patriots sick of being lied to and the election being stolen from us!… I saw no violence from the Patriots!”

"Weyer can be heard yelling: 'GET HER OUT, MACE HER’ as the [member of the news media] victim is again pushed back by her assailants as they flee.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

More background on Weaver and co here: justice.gov/usao-dc/case-m…

Weaver rode on a bus paid for by Trump associate and Pa. state Sen: Doug Mastriano, who was repeatedly photographed with another violent insurrectionist on the FBI wanted list: huffpost.com/entry/samuel-l…

Mastriano ties are going to continue to pop up in a lot of Capitol attack cases out of PA.
