Federal law enforcement officials arrested two people from northwest Pennsylvania who were part of the apparently overzealous tourists domestic terrorist attack on the Capitol on January 6th, one of whom yelled that “We want to hang that [expletive],” as she battled police officers.
According to the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review, FBI agents arrested Pauline Bauer and William Albert Blauser Jr. of Elk County, Pennsylvania. It’s unknown if the two have any relationship besides being at the coup at the same time. The FBI’s arrest affidavit states that Blauser is seen on video backing into a line of three police officers to break the line with a group of attackers. Bauer is on video yelling at officers, “Bring that [expletive] out here now. Bring her out. Bring her out here. We’re coming in if you don’t bring her out. They’re criminals. They need to hang. Bring her out. Bring Nancy Pelosi out here now. We want to hang that [expletive]. What are you trying to protect a [expletive] Nazi. Is that what you’re protecting?”
Upon arriving back home, Bauer made a series of inflammatory social media posts. “We took over our capital [sic] like patriots,” she posted. “[None] of us are armed, just pissed that this is what we have to do to take our country back from communism. Do you really think anyone could break into the capital. The antagonists were let in. We all got maced trying to stop what was happening. They used us for a movie so you could watch it on the news.” She also wrote: “You can thank me after you start researching that these Democrats not only cheated and stole this election from the people but they have been trafficking children for years.” Bauer was either an employee or a co-owner of the Bob’s Trading Post store in Kane, Pennsylvania. One witness told the FBI Bauer was becoming “more and more political over the past year and began losing business because people were uncomfortable about her constant political rhetoric.”
