Ryan’s sentence came after she bragged online that she was "definitely not going to jail."
She later said on social media that she was looking forward to her prison sentence and it would be "worth it" if she could lose 30 pounds.
Ryan is still serving her sentence and compared the way she’s being treated to the way Jews were treated in Germany.
Troy Smocks is serving a 14-month sentence for his role in the Capitol Riot.
The other person serving time in prison is Troy Smocks, a Dallas man who as sentenced to 14 months for posting threats against Democrats and others on social media on January 6.

More than 700 people nationwide have been charged for their alleged roles in the attack. Many others still have not been identified.
The FBI is still looking for the person seen on video dropping off pipe bombs outside both the Republican and Democratic National Committee Headquarters, just blocks away from the Capitol.
Bomb squads safely detonated both but said they could have caused great harm if they had not been found in time.
