“Pro-life” advocate and self-professed Christian Abby Johnson told her Twitter followers on Feb. 3 that she didn’t “participate” in the U.S. Capitol riot on Jan. 6, 2021, despite CNN video (above) of Johnson at the Capitol during the riot.
That’s good because I didn’t participate in any riot. 👍🏻

Jezebel reported on Jan. 12, 2021, that Johnson was indeed at the U.S. Capitol riot:
It appears Abby Johnson, an anti-abortion zealot and America’s most famous former Planned Parenthood employee, was on the Capitol steps during last week’s storming of the Hill. In a series of edited and then deleted Facebook posts as well as a handful of still-available tweets from January 6, the motivational speaker and birth control skeptic conveys the whole spectrum of human emotion during an attempted coup, from “grinning with the president” to “antifa almost pushed me down the Capitol steps” and “I have pepper spray in my lungs.”
Johnson admitted on Facebook that she got “pepper spray” in her lungs on Jan. 6:
Jezebel also notes that Johnson also wrote — in a now-deleted Facebook post — that she “was almost knocked down the stairs of the Capitol…”
One day earlier on Jan. 5, Johnson gave angry speech in Washington D.C.:
It is time to rise up! It is time to fight back!
