A self-described “Peace Pilgrim” from California who boasted online that she was at the U.S. Capitol during the Jan. 6 riots and “got pepper sprayed pretty good” faces charges for her actions there, authorities said.
Christina Kelso, 46, of Thermal, California, about 140 miles east of Los Angeles, faces charges of obstruction and trespassing, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said in a news release.
The statement of facts alleges Kelso planned her trip to Washington through the Telegram messaging app group, “The California Patriots – DC Brigade,” which coordinated travel to Washington for former President Donald Trump’s “Stop the Steal” rally.
“Many of us have not met before and we are all ready and willing to be engaged in this fight,” the “About” section of the Telegram group stated. “This group will serve as the Comms for able bodied individuals that are going to DC on Jan 6. We will come together for this moment that we are called upon.”
