An Arizona mother who filmed herself making virulently racist, anti-Muslim comments and taking her children to steal materials from a Tempe mosque last year was sentenced to two years of supervised probation on Tuesday.

Tahnee Savanna Gonzales, who had pleaded guilty to aggravated criminal damage, must complete 225 hours of community service and write a letter of apology to the Islamic Community Center of Tempe, the Arizona Republic reports . She faces a 30-day deferred jail sentence if she does not satisfactorily complete her probation.

Gonzales apologized in court for setting a poor example for her kids and for attacking one of the most sacred of all liberties that I hold near and dear to my heart.

I was taken by the sensationalism of the media coverage on a conservative media outlet, Gonzales told reporters after the sentencing. I am deeply remorseful for my actions that brought my misdirected passionate patriotism into question.
