A state Board of Education member organized a bus trip to Washington D.C. to participate in a “Stop the Steal” event, which descended into a chaotic, seditious mob raid on the U.S. Capitol as Congress voted to affirm the presidential election.
Kirsten Hill, who was elected to a four-year term in 2018, organized for a bus to travel from Elyria, Ohio (departing at 3 a.m. Jan. 6) to arrive in Washington D.C. to join the event, according to an online event page hosted by a group she runs.
The site, ran by the TEA Party of Lorain County, hosts links to the now-defunct site “www.wildprotest.com” in encouraging signups. It lists Hill specifically as the organizer.
