U.S. Capitol Police Chief Tom Manger speaks to reporters after attending a classified briefing with congressional leaders on the security preparations for a rally taking place this weekend on Capitol Hill on September 13, 2021 in Washington, D.C.Police also arrested a man who was carrying a large knife and appeared to be dressed as a journalist.Authorities detained the man, who was not immediately identified, against a bike-rack barrier, before taking him away.
Rick Fiori, 53, a company manager from Washington, carried a sign with a portrait of Benedict Arnold and a pointed message for the Jan. 6 rally: “Traitors - All of You.” “There are a lot of people in there who are not violent offenders,” said Anders Bruce, 30, a test tutor who said he lives in northern Virginia. “The punishment is disproportionate to the alleged crime.”
Before driving promotion for the rally, Braynard worked in the trenches with Trump allies in the months after the election pushing the false narrative that gave birth to Jan. 6: that President Joe Biden’s election was illegitimate. “We have all of this for 700 people?” said Nadine Seiler, 55, a home organizer who lives in Waldorf, Md. “This is a waste of money … I think it’s totally overcompensating for what happened on Jan. 6.”Her friend Karen Irwin, 46, a bartender who came down from New York City to counter-protest, said she felt obligated to offer “a dissenting voice” and show the protesters “they don’t speak for us.” Irwin mocked the rally organizers complaints about the incarceration of Jan. 6 rioters.
"Our hearts and minds are with the people being persecuted so unfairly relating to the January 6th protest concerning the Rigged Presidential Election," Trump said in a statement. "In addition to everything else, it has proven conclusively that we are a two-tiered system of justice. In the end, however, JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL!"
The anxiety was on display as recently as last month when parts of the government complex were evacuated after a North Carolina man, suffering from mental illness, warned that he was carrying a bomb in a pickup truck parked near the Capitol. No explosive was recovered, but the incident prompted an all-out response by law enforcement.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., also has expressed satisfaction with the security plan.In addition to the fencing and the full deployment of the Capitol Police, the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department has activated its entire force for the event.
The J6 rally fizzled out bc of Trumps words claiming it was a setup. The word went out to all J6 supporters to NOT show up. They will return once the fence comes down. CNN cnnbrk AP APFactCheck maddow CBSNews ABC NBCNews Reuters BBCWorld MeidasTouch ProjectLincoln
I guess the news media would prefer another Jan 6 so they can make money off of reporting it 2/26/1993 then 8 years 7 months later 9/11/2001 it should scare you more nothing occurred
yeah the word on Twitter was this rally was a set up so no one came
Such a disappointment to all the 'progressive' media that loves to hype the 'terrible dangers' of what it calls the far-right.
“Journalists” 😂👍
Fed failure. From pix of these few, looks like most were feds. Our tax dollars at work.
