A 71-year-old former ‘MAGA Granny’ who was arrested for participating in the January 6 riot has turned on Donald Trump and will refuse a pardon if he offers her one.

Pamela Hemphill, a retired substance abuse counselor was gifted a trip to the ‘Stop the Steal’ rally and entered the Capitol that day after voting for Donald Trump in 2016 and 2020. 

The Idaho native was also seen on photographs released by the FBI inside the Capitol during the riots.

Hemphill copped to one misdemeanor count of parading, demonstrating or picketing in the Capitol building and was sentenced to two months in jail.

But the grandmother now calls the MAGA movement a ‘cult’ and compares Trump to ‘his friend Jeffrey Epstein.’

Trump has promised sweeping pardons for many of those charged in connection with the attack, declaring he would act ‘very quickly’ on Day 1 of his presidency.

However, Hemphill has no interest and has done a complete face turn on the president-elect, writing on social media Monday: ‘I will refuse a pardon from felon Trump!’ 

She claims that she’s being ‘bullied by MAGA’ and that some have attempted to call her probation officer on her to get Hemphill in further trouble.

Hemphill says the bullies thought she would stop speaking out against Trump but they ‘just give me more confidence to continue!’

The grandmother admitted to USA Today in August that she was voting for Kamala Harris in the 2024 election and hasn’t been moved by Trump’s victory in November.  

Hemphill was seen pushing her way past the police multiple times as the riot began and eventually was seen yelling: ‘Come on in, come on, have fun… This is your house!’  

Upon her 2022 conviction, she apologized for ‘everything I said and did at the Capitol.’

She eventually served out her 60 days in a California jail cell. 

Hemphill has resisted Trump’s attempts to curry favor with her before, including in 2023, when he made an example of how she was getting more prison time than Hunter Biden. 

She responded: ‘Please Donald Trump don’t be using me for anything, I’m not a victim of Jan6, I pleaded guilty because I was guilty!’ 

Hemphill has since declared supporting Trump to be akin to being in a ‘cult’ in a CNN interview. 

‘I started seeing the narcissistic behavior. And I said, ‘Wait, wait, this is gaslighting. This is not true,’ she told The Daily Beast.

Trump has promised to use his clemency power on behalf of many of those who tried to overturn the results of the election that Trump lost in 2020.

Critics have characterized it as Trump promising to undermine the rule of law. 

But Trump told Time at the end of last year that not everyone would be entitled to a pardon.

‘I’m going to do case-by-case, and if they were non-violent, I think they’ve been greatly punished,’ he said. ‘And the answer is I will be doing that, yeah, I’m going to look if there’s some that really were out of control.’

Trump said he would issue pardons to rioters on ‘Day 1’ of his presidency, which begins next Monday, January 20. 

‘Most likely, I’ll do it very quickly,’ he said recently on NBC’s Meet the Press.

He added that ‘those people have suffered long and hard. And there may be some exceptions to it. I have to look. But, you know, if somebody was radical, crazy.’

More than 1,500 people have been charged with federal crimes stemming from the siege that left more than 100 police officers injured and sent lawmakers running into hiding as they met to certify Democrat Joe Biden’s 2020 victory .

Hundreds of people who did not engage in destruction or violence were charged only with misdemeanor offenses for illegally entering the Capitol. 

Others were charged with felony offenses, including assault for beating police officers. 

Leaders of the Oath Keepers and the Proud Boys extremist groups were convicted of seditious conspiracy for what prosecutors described as plots to use violence to stop the peaceful transfer of power from Trump, the Republican incumbent, to Biden.

Some Republican lawmakers are pushing for Trump to pardon all the January 6 rioters. 

Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said those in prison over the attacks – no matter their crime – should be released.

‘Even the ones that fought Capitol Police, caused damage to the Capitol, I think they’ve served their time, and I think they should all be pardoned and released from prison,’ Greene said.
