What did Ginni Thomas say about the Capitol insurrection?

While speaking with the Washington Free Beacon, Ginni Thomas noted her attendance at the now infamous rally-turned-riot, adding that she had “no role with those who were planning and leading the [January 6] events.”

“There are stories in the press suggesting I paid or arranged for buses,” she continued.

“I did not. There are other stories saying I mediated feuding factions of leaders for that day. I did not.”

Thomas added that she had returned home before former President Donald Trump arrived on site.

“I was disappointed and frustrated that there was violence that happened following a peaceful gathering of Trump supporters on the Ellipse,” she said.
