The mother of Bruno Cua a Georgia 18-year-old who stormed the U.S. Capitol, pushed a cop and entered the Senate chamber with a baton after traveling to D.C. with his parents for Donald Trump s rally told a federal judge Wednesday she felt stupid for buying into the former presidents lies about mass voter fraud.

Alise Cua and her husband, Joseph Cua, took their teenage son to D.C. for the Stop the Steal rally, in which the then-president and his allies attempted to pressure lawmakers to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election based on false conspiracy theories about mass voter fraud. Afterward, the family members made their way to the Capitol and unlawfully entered restricted grounds. The younger Cua made his way inside and shoved an officer to get into the Senate chamber.

Since her son was arrested, Alise Cua testified during a hearing before a federal judge in D.C. on Wednesday, she had spent time feeling, quite frankly, just stupid for believing what I believed.

I really shouldve known better, she said, adding that she and her son felt ridiculous for believing the former presidents lies about voter fraud.
