Greene, Cawthorn planning to skip Sept. 18 rally as Capitol Hill gears up

Amid rising concerns on the Hill about potential violence during a Sept. 18 rally defending those arrested during the Capitol riot, two well-known House conservatives who have described some Jan. 6 insurrectionists as "political prisoners" say they’re not planning to attend this month's event.

As the rally draws closer, congressional security officials are beginning to prepare for potential risks amid heightened scrutiny of lapses in the response to the violence of Jan. 6's riot led by supporters of former President Donald Trump.

While Braynard declined to share whether any members of Congress have confirmed they plan to attend, he told POLITICO that organizers would announce speakers “when ready." Hill security officials could opt to restore the tall fencing that ringed the Capitol in the aftermath of the Jan. 6 insurrection. The barriers stayed up until the beginning of July despite criticism from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle who opposed the closure of open access to the Capitol. Some Capitol Police officers, on the other hand, had supported the fencing.

Scared of what your supporters have planned?

Just covering their ass from the trouble they are facing from the last coup attempt

Now they are scared. They know they are already in deep💩

They will be in the same tent the former guy was watching their first insurrection

When you shine a light on the floor, rats refuse to come out.

Why what’s going on ?

ah, ha

They will be out on their nation wide grift tour bilking poor people out of money they cant afford to give. Its the Republican way.

Capital police waiting for any crap from those people to kick some a..

That could mean one of two things: 1. She’s distancing herself from the event after she became a subject of the 1-6 investigation or 2. She thinks things are going to get really bad this time around and she doesn’t want to be in the crossfire. Just the same, Check her phone.

Is this something out Trumps playbookDo all the talking and then hide.

I love! I mean I really love the fact that those right wing wackos are considered conservatives in the media. What a ball bust for my conservative friends. They won’t even talk politics now. I love it!

One insurrection was enough? I’m sure they are still helping like last time. Fingers crossed that the Capital police are better equipped this time though and can respond appropriately in consideration of their fallen officers .

They don't want to be accused of inciting a riot, which would damage them politically.

This needs to be shut down right fucking now!

Well, somebody’s gotta be inside live-tweeting the Speaker’s whereabouts….
