When ITV interviewed her mom, she said "She’s a 22-year-old who, like I said, is very empathetic and loving." She just got caught up with a bad crowd. Or something like that.

Riley Williams, who was one of a small number of women to have illegally entered the buildings during the Washington DC siege, attracted attention after she was filmed apparently directing rioters “up the stairs, up the stairs”. In separate interviews, her mother and father rejected claims that she was giving orders to the rioters, insisting she was a peaceful protester who got lost in the crowd. “She’s definitely not a leader,” said Wendy Williams, her mother.
