Exclusive: Pam Hemphill doesn't quite recognise the person who stormed the US Capitol alongside around 2500 others on January 6, 2021.

The Idaho grandmother, 72, was once a fierce Trump supporter – so loyal was Hemphill to the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement that she refused to accept the president's 2020 election defeat and joined the thousands.

Hemphill pleaded guilty to a misdemeanour count of parading, demonstrating or picketing at the Capitol Building and was sentenced to 60 days in prison.
