Florist Who Bragged About Entering Nancy Pelosi's Office Charged

MIDLAND, TX — A flower shop owner who has bragged about her involvement in the Jan. 6 siege of the U.S. Capitol has been charged federally.

Jenny Cudd, owner of Becky's Flowers in Midland, Texas, is one of two people from Midland to face federal charges in the riot, KOSA has reported. Her identity has been shared widely in the days since the siege.

Cudd posted on her Facebook page after the riot, stating "we" tore down the doors to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office, according to the report. Cudd's Facebook page has since been deleted.

She later defended her actions, telling KOSA she "didn't break any laws." She said she was proud of her actions at the Capitol and would do it again, according to the station.

"We did break down Nancy Pelosi's office door," Cudd said in a Facebook Live video that was later recorded and shared on Twitter. "Somebody stole her gavel, and took a picture sitting in her chair flipping off the camera."

“Do I think that it was wrong for us to go to the Capitol? Absolutely not," Cudd, a 2019 Midland mayoral candidate, said. "Do I think that it was wrong for me to go through an open door and get inside of the Capitol? No I don’t."

Cudd said she did not vandalize anything inside the building, according to KOSA.

Death threats have been left for Cudd at her flower shop, she told KOSA. Other businesses with similar names to "Becky's Flowers" across the country have also been targeted.

In Kentucky, Becky's Flower Basket has received backlash even though its business has no affiliation with Cudd's Texas shop, according to a WKYT report.

Amber Sergent told the Kentucky television station her family has been swamped with angry calls from people who are confusing them with Cudd's business.

“Very violent language, I’ll put it that way,” Sergent said.

The FBI had not listed the exact charges Cudd faces as of Wednesday afternoon.
