A South Carolina tea shop owner shut down her store for an “emergency road trip” on Jan. 6 to Washington, D.C., and ended up breaching the Capitol building, federal prosecutors say.

Christina Mari Praser-Fair, the owner of Cornwallis House Tea Co. in Winnsboro, around 35 miles north of Columbia, has been outspoken about her time at the Capitol that day, according to federal court records, going so far as to tell a local news station a year later that she “had no regrets” about going.

“We went because we just wanted to be a part of something, you know, like stand up for what we believe in, add to the numbers,” she told a local news station, according to federal prosecutors, who arrested Praser-Fair on Thursday. Praser-Fair placed such a high priority on attending Donald Trump’s “Stop the Steal” rally — during which Trump encouraged his supporters to “fight like hell” to keep him in office despite losing to President Joe Biden — that she shut down her tea shop.

“[T]he company will be closed this Wednesday and Thursday while Christina and Jenny take their emergency road trip to D.C. to attend the Trump [rally],” a voicemail from Cornwallis House Tea said on Jan. 6, 2021, according to the complaint.

1. FAFO

2. Seems like she should have additional charges for dragging her minor son along

on her seditious escapade.

3. At least she is honest about it.

If you are going to declare war on your own country, at least have the guts to not claim afterward, "I didn't know what I was doing." She is one of the few who freely admits she did know what she (along with the rest of them) was doing.

"Emergency road trip," my ass. Maybe she didn't have enough room on her post-it to write "Attempt to overthrow the government of the United States."

As much as she may have felt that she "needed to go," that's how much the US government "needs" to toss her ass in jail for insurrection.

4. Maybe she'll get to enjoy the fine assortment of tea available from the prison commissary.

5. The bergamot has hints of ass

6. She thinks she's a hero.

So do most of the other 1,200 or so criminals that were arrested.

[Aristus]

7. Great. An unrepentant traitor.

There's got to be an empty cell somewhere for her to sit in...

[Mysterian]

8. OK, then enjoy a longer stretch in the pen, weirdo

There's nothing more stupid than a Trump supporter.
