Ryan, who faced four charges, pleaded guilty to one misdemeanour count, where she admitted she “paraded, demonstrated, or picketed” inside the Capitol Building.
In a letter addressed to Judge Cooper, Ryan sought to downplay her actions that day.
“Some actions I took that day were good,” she wrote. “I came to DC to protest the election results. I wanted my voice to be heard. My only weapon was my voice and my cell phone.”
She denied in the letter that her tweet indicated her belief that she was above the law.
“I wasn’t saying I was above prison, I just felt that it would be unlikely since I was pleading to entering the Capitol for 2 minutes and 8 seconds. Now I realize that was a false notion, but having a false notion does not automatically mean I deserve incarceration,” she wrote.
“A tweet of me taking up for myself against a bully who is harassing me does not indicate that I feel above-the-law.”
Cooper suggested that Ryan choose more carefully the news outlets she relies on.
