Rochester woman charged in Jan. 6 insurrection has a new lawyer and legal strategy


A photo of Victoria C. White being arrested on Jan. 6, 2021, at the U.S. Capitol was included in U.S. District Court filings in support of the federal charges.



Victoria White, a Rochester woman who faces four felonies for her alleged role in the Jan. 6 insurrection that forced the suspension of the 2020 election certification process, has a new attorney and a new legal strategy.

Contrary to her portrayal as an active participant in the chaos, as described in court documents and video evidence, her attorney, Joseph McBride, argues that White was a victim of police brutality at the west terrace entrance of the Capitol.

In a post to Twitter on Dec. 22, McBride wrote, “Victoria White was pushed into the Tunnel. She was then BRUTALLY BEATEN by OFFICER WHITE SHIRT. Dozens of baton blows. A defenseless woman, she is PULVERIZED for wearing a TRUMP Hat.”




In that fashion, after months of silence following her April 8 arrest by FBI special agents, White’s case has suddenly burst forth in conservative media within the last week, portraying her as a sympathetic figure.

The Epoch Times and Gateway Pundit, both far-right conservative media websites, recently carried stories about White’s case and her alleged maltreatment by Metropolitan Police Department officers.

the other "innocent tourists" caught up unaware in the midst of a murderous, treasonous
mob. That's what Fascists do and I hope they all get some serious push-back.
