Kayla Reifschneider, 27, was so fired up in support of Donald Trump on Jan. 6, 2021, that federal prosecutors say the Los Angeles, California, woman smashed apart press cameras, spit at reporters as she told them to “Get Covid!” and yelled obscenities as she stormed the Capitol. She was arrested Wednesday.

According to an arrest warrant, authorities picked Reifschneider up in Los Angeles and charged her with obstruction of justice/Congress, knowingly entering or remaining in any restricted building or grounds without lawful authority and an act of physical violence in the Capitol grounds or building.

A statement of facts from the FBI detailing the allegations against Reifschneider describes how her anger and frustration grew steadily since as early as October 2020 when she joined a group on Telegram known as “PATRIOTS45 MAGA Gang.”
