She served two months hard time after being found guilty for rioting on Jan. 6.
Now Pam Hemphill wants the president to be sent to prison too.
The 70-year-old from Boise, Idaho condemned former President Donald Trump while appearing on CNN on Friday.
"The narrative is getting worse and worse, that the election was not stolen — they will not let go of that one," said Hemphill. "And we know that's a lie. And Trump knew the election had (sic) been stolen."
"And he had us come there anyway."
Hemphill was reflecting on the days leading up to Jan. 6, 2021.
He tweeted hyped up a “big protest” (that soon took on the name "Stop the Steal") on Dec. 19, 2020 to take place while there would be a joint session of Congress to certify the election results.
“Be there, will be wild!” Trump wrote.

"I mean I'm so tired of narrative that they're putting out there," Hemphill noted. "That's why I speak out; because I have all the receipts. I was there. I know what happened that day. And I hold Trump totally responsible."
Hemphill said she sees through the MAGA mystique and is fed up with the parallels.
"You know, that's the MAGA — I don't know how to explain it — they have this way of demeaning you and putting you down," she said. "And that's what they've got going right now is this huge gaslighting smear campaign going on."
Hemphill's case was one of the 561 federal cases adjudicated from the deadly day.
"Telling me that it was a peaceful protest? I was there. I was there when they pushed those gates and those officers and when they stepped on my head."
She said she is especially empathetic about the Capital Police because one came to her aid.
"It was an officer that saved my life that day," she said. "Trump is a dangerous, and I mean a dangerous, narcissist."
Hemphill continued: "He's a cult leader. He needs to be put in prison."
