A 35-second video from the riots showed her walking towards the Capitol steps and declaring, "We're going in, tear gas and all. Tear gas don't bother me."

The Bexar County Sheriff's Office of Texas has fired Lieutenant Roxanne Mathai after she made Facebook posts touting her participation in the January 6 Capitol insurrection. She has not been criminally charged.

"......And we are going in......in the crowd at the stairs...not inside the capitol like the others," Mathai wrote in one of her posts. She included a selfie of her wearing a red, white and blue mask and draped in a flag declaring support for President Donald Trump.

"THIS IS TRUMP NATION" another photo post of hers declared, alongside red, white and blue hearts. "Not gonna lie.....aside from my kids, this was, indeed, the best day of my life. And it's not over yet," she wrote in a third post along with more photos of the rioters.
