Pennsylvanians played a significant role in the Jan. 6 attack. Here’s who they are.

Democracy didn’t die in Washington, D.C. on Jan. 6, 2021, despite the efforts of state Republicans like Doug Mastriano and Scott Perry, and the 100 Pennsylvanians who have been arrested to date for participating in the deadly attack on the US Capitol.

Pennsylvania is inextricably linked to the deadly Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the United States Capitol, in which five people died and dozens were seriously injured after a mob of Donald Trump supporters—fresh from being told to “fight like hell” by the then-president at a nearby rally—descended upon the Capitol in the violent culmination of Trump’s failed attempt to have the results of the 2020 presidential election overturned.

Major political players in the state, such as state Sen. Doug Mastriano (R-Franklin) and US Rep. Scott Perry (R-Dauphin), allegedly played significant roles in Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 election. 

Mastriano was named in a Senate ethics complaint regarding his actions to undermine the commonwealth’s 2020 election results. He also chartered a bus on the day of the insurrection, using campaign funds, and took followers to the rally. Perry’s communications with Trump officials and Pennsylvania Republicans have placed him at the center of Trump’s efforts to overturn the commonwealth’s 2020 election results.

Then there is the role that Pennsylvanians played on the ground in the Jan. 6 attack. Based on information from the U.S. Department of Justice, the FBI, other court records, and the Associated Press, the Keystone has found that 100 Pennsylvanians have been arrested to date for their roles in the attack on the Capitol. Only Florida, with 138, and Texas, with 112, had more residents arrested in connection to the Jan. 6 attack.

In the four years since the attack, 72 Pennsylvanians have been sentenced, with others still awaiting trial. Three died (two by suicide) while awaiting sentencing, and two others, a married couple, moved out of state before being sentenced. 

As recently as last month, President-elect Trump has said he would act on his first day in office to pardon rioters involved in the attack.

“I’m going to be acting very quickly, first day,” Trump said on NBC News’ “Meet the Press with Kristen Welker” when asked when he planned to pardon his supporters who were charged in the attack aimed at overturning his 2020 election defeat.

Here’s where things stand with each of the 100 Pennsylvanians arrested to date in the Jan. 6, 2021 attack.
