At her sentencing hearing, Yvonne St Cyr did not express regret or accept any responsibility for her actions on Jan. 6, 2021.

A Jan. 6 defendant who claimed she believed she had the right to climb over broken glass to enter the Capitol was sentenced to 2 and a half years in federal prison on Wednesday.

Yvonne St Cyr — who during her trial in March was found guilty of two felony counts of civil disorder as well as several misdemeanors — was sentenced by U.S. District Judge John Bates to 30 months behinds bars, 36 months of supervised release and a $2,000 restitution to the Architect of the Capitol.

After her trial, St Cyr had said in a Facebook livestream that she wasn't sure that the case would ever move to sentencing because "the truth" would come out before then.

“Their s---'s gonna blow up!" she said. "So, just keep watching Tucker, keep spreading the truth, keep talking about the corruption, keep sharing, and we will bring the system doooooowwwwn.”

"She also repeated her claim that the last presidential election was stolen."

...and...

"In a Facebook livestream after her sentencing, St Cyr also said she hadn’t filed taxes since 2019, and she encouraged her followers not to pay their taxes."

So she supported the Trump presidency...but refused to pay tax 2 years into his presidency?

No, you don’t get it. Taxes are bad because government, and Trump is good because he’s not government, especially when he was president but also now and forever. And government is communism, so we can’t pay taxes. Obviously!
