Former President Donald Trump has criticized President Joe Biden and the Justice Department for “unfairly” targeting a 71-year-old woman,  dubbed the “J6 Praying Grandma”,  who entered the U.S. Capitol for around 10 minutes on Jan. 6, 2021.

Rebecca Lavrenzs was convicted on April 4 on four federal misdemeanor charges, including entering and remaining in a restricted building, and disorderly and disruptive conduct. She faces up to a year in prison and $200,000 in fines, with her sentencing scheduled for Aug. 12.

The 71-year-old great grandmother is owner of a bed-and-breakfast business where she lives about 14 miles northeast of Colorado Springs.

She says that she felt compelled by God to drive across country in January 2021 and pray for the nation.  It appears that her only real offense was to enter the capitol building without permission, but Federal prosecutors chose to label her prayers as “disorderly and disruptive conduct.”

 DC juries appear intimidated into marching in lockstep.  If she had been found not guilty, Lavrenz would have been the first Jan. 6 defendant in a jury trial to be acquitted of federal charges.

Lavrenz says she was surprised by the verdict,  but she adds that it may have been in God’s will in order to wake our country up to the injustice of the January 6 prosecutions.
