Dr. Gold was amongst thousands swept into the Capitol building when the doors were opened from the inside, with law enforcement officers ushering people in.
Dr. Gold was arrested and prosecuted along with hundreds of other non-violent citizens for being present at the Capitol. Under the heavy weight of a vicious and biased media assault and a highly partisan DOJ, Dr. Gold reached a plea agreement for entering a restricted building. Despite committing no violence and only fulfilling her approved obligation to speak about Constitutional rights, she was sentenced to 60 days in prison—totally unheard of for a misdemeanor trespass with no previous criminal record.
