Jack Posobiec was joined by the January 6 "praying grandma" and her lawyer for an exclusive interview on Human Events Daily on Wednesday. Two days prior, a judge ruled that Rebecca Lavrenz would not face prison time but would have to undergo a year of probation with 6 months of home confinement and pay a hefty $103,000 fine.
Lavrenz is a great-grandmother from Colorado in her mid-70s who owns a bed and breakfast. She was prosecuted for entering the Capitol on January 6, 2021 and praying. Her lawyer, John Pierce, revealed that his client was reportedly hit with the largest misdemeanor fine in American history. On top of that, Lavrenz will be restricted from using the internet for 6 months which will keep her from being able to raise money to help pay the fine or talk about the upcoming 2024 election.
Lavrenz told Posobiec that her being put on trial and prosecuted was "appalling" and said that the American government is "turning so ungodly."
"My main mission in this whole event is because of God. To restore our country back to its original intent as a Godly nation," she explained. "And if they can take away my inalienable rights that were given to us by God, to speak freely, to share what I believe, even if it disagrees with them."
However, she said she was simultaneously "excited" because the government thought that she was the "loudest voice out there for January 6."
"I think they're afraid of me." She quoted Thomas Jefferson, who stated "if we fear the government, that's tyranny, and I will never bow down to tyranny. But if the government fears us, then that's liberty."
"Do you think it's possible that one of the reasons that they went after you so hard as they did and as they are, is because you're not afraid of being a proud Christian mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother and doing so publicly inside our capital?" Posobiec asked Lavrenz.
"They knew that I wasn't afraid, because as a Christian and very strong believer in God, he's the higher authority in my life, and they can put me in prison, but they can never shut off the freedoms that are in my heart and what God has already put in me, because I love my I love God more than anything, and then my country, and I will stand up and fight for my country, for my children," Lavrenz replied.
She later said in the show: "Karl Marx said in the mid 1800s his one mission in life was to dethrone God. And when I was in that capital for the 10 minutes ... I just saw my three little grandchildren, and I said to myself, I said, I will not let my children or my grandchildren be brought into a country with a Marxist ideology. Not on my watch."
