Video Shows Burlington County Woman Amid D.C. Riots

WASHINGTON, D.C. — A Burlington County woman who is a prominent activist in right-wing circles was among a group of people who attempted to storm the capitol in D.C. on Jan. 6, according to a video that was recently posted on social media.

Ayla Wolf, of Medford, can be seen on video among a mob of people attempting to enter the capitol.

Several media outlets, including the Philadelphia Inquirer, confirmed her identity based on a publicly available video. Wolf also goes by the name Stephanie Hazleton.

She posted a story on Facebook about taking a bus trip from South Jersey to D.C., according to Phillymag.com. Two friends also posted about injuries she received, but those posts and her page have since been deleted.

A group of rioters stormed the capitol in an attempt to prevent Congress from certifying the results of the 2020 presidential election. Wolf is first seen about an hour, six minutes into the video, emerging from the entrance to direct more people to move forward.

“We gotta keep going,” Wolf said in the video.

She was recording herself with her pink phone, and was wiping her eyes as though she had just been tear-gassed. Before the release of the video, she had told a Patch reporter that she had been gassed and was blind.

“I was crouching on the ground and retching from the tear gas,” she told the reporter. The scene she described was depicted in the video, as she repeatedly told the others, “We need more men. Men. Not women.”

She was offered water by some of the other protesters, but she refused and told them, “I have to get back in there. … Keep going, keep pushing.”

At one point, she told the others, “We need helmets.”

The video doesn’t show her participating in any violence, and it isn’t clear if she ever made it inside the building.

The video is age-restricted, so it can't be embedded here. It remains posted on YouTube.

No charges have been filed against her, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer.

The rioting resulted in five deaths, including a Capitol Police officer who grew up in South River who was killed by rioters. Read more here: Federal Probe Opened Into Capitol Hill Riot Death Of Cop From NJ

More than 100 people have been charged in the riots, and President Donald Trump was impeached for a second time over accusations he incited the riots.

Wolf, in her 30s, is an outspoken Trump supporter and conservative activist. In the past year, she has participated in "more than 60" rallies across New Jersey, some in support of Trump, others protesting the lockdowns and some a combination of both. She was one of the people who rallied outside Atilis Gym in Bellmawr for days, and she was charged by police there with organizing a protest. Below is a video of Wolf talking about small businesses at a unity march in June.

She told Patch she was at the rally Trump held before protesters marched to the capitol over unsubstantiated claims that Trump was rightfully elected, and the election was “stolen” from the voters. She said she doesn't think he incited violence that day.

In the wake of the riots, the FBI warned of the possibility of armed protests in D.C. and all 50 state capitols leading up to Wednesday's inauguration. So far, no violence has taken place in New Jersey. Read more here: NJ Takes New Security Steps Due To Potential Capitol Violence

Last week, the House of Representatives impeached Trump with a vote of 232 to 197. A Senate trial must still be held. If convicted, Trump would be barred from ever running for office again.
