'This is war!' FBI busts South Carolina Capitol rioter couple who posted threats on Facebook
June 16, 2021
According to The State, a South Carolina couple has been arrested by the FBI and charged for their involvement in the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6.
"John Getsinger Jr. and Stacie Hargis-Getsinger, of Hanahan, a city in Berkeley County just north of Charleston, were arraigned Tuesday afternoon in Charleston before U.S. Magistrate Judge Mary Gordon Baker in a initial proceeding where they were presented with the charges against them," reported John Monk. "Baker released the couple, who are described as 'the Getsingers' in charging documents, on a $75,000 unsecured bond each and their promise to appear for future court proceedings in the District of Columbia."
"According to a criminal complaint in the case, four people called an FBI tips line separately to report information they had about the couple making claims about being in the Capitol on Jan. 6," said the report. "One caller told the FBI that a video exists of 'the Getsingers entering the Capitol Building saying, 'This is War! We're storming the Capitol!'' according to the criminal complaint.' Another informant told the FBI that Stacie Getsinger had posted on her Facebook page, 'The (presidential) election was rigged, and this ain't over,' the complaint said."
Stacie Getsinger reportedly also expressed fear on Facebook after the fact that the two would be arrested for their involvement.
The FBI has farmed out the task of identifying Capitol rioters to the general public. So far, this strategy has helped identify dozens of people, with loved ones, high school friends, and even social media stalkers outing their identities.

'That's a man!' Tomi Lahren fans revolt after she refers to Caitlyn Jenner as 'her' during Fox interview
June 16, 2021
Fox Nation host Tomi Lahren faced some blowback from fans on Wednesday when she correctly referred to Caitlyn Jenner as "her" while promoting an interview with the Republican California gubernatorial hopeful.
Jenner, a transgender icon who faced criticism from many in the trans community for her endorsement of former President Donald Trump in 2016, appeared on Fox Nation this week to prop up her flailing campaign for California governor.
Lahren wrote on Twitter that she was interviewing Jenner to get a sense of what her priorities would be as California governor.
"California is failing and Caitlyn Jenner believes it is worth fighting for," she wrote. "I'll discuss my interview with her next on Fox and Friends."
Many Lahren fans angrily caller her out for not referring to Jenner as a "he," while at the same time sending disparaging messages about the trans community at large.
Check out some reactions below.

Slain officer's partner angry that Capitol rioters are blaming Trump: 'Adults are responsible for the choices we make'
June 16, 2021
The longtime partner of slain U.S. Capitol police officer Brian Sicknick doesn't want to hear Jan. 6 rioters blame Donald Trump for their actions during the insurrection.
The 42-year-old Sicknick suffered two strokes and died from natural causes the day after two Trump supporters sprayed him with powerful chemical irritants during their attempt to stop the election certification for Joe Biden, but the officer's longtime girlfriend is bothered by the defense some rioters have offered.
"I have been open in my criticism of Donald Trump and how I feel about his actions that day, every single person that made the choice to commit violence that day is responsible for their own actions," said Sandra Garza, who was in a relationship with Sicknick for 11 years. "That's how I feel about that and, you know, when we become adults, we're responsible for the choices that we make, and the people that decided to commit violence there that day are responsible for their actions."
