A 'false flag' conspiracy theory, which spread on right-wing social media platforms, likely contributed to the rally's low attendance.

"The very small crowd size at the #JusticeforJ6 traitorous rally shows the waning influence of the former President," the California Democrat tweeted.

The"Justice for J6" rally concluded Saturday afternoon without any known major instances of violence. Due to concerns of such possible threats, authorities ensured a hefty police presence at the rally, which was attended by 400 to 450 protesters in support of those who were charged in connection with the Capitol riot earlier this year, according to CapitolA Metropolitan Police turns onto Pennsylvania Ave.

"We favor lawful prosecution and speedy trials for anyone who did commit violence on January 6 and condemn their actions," Braynard said."We are cooperating completely with multiple different police forces to ensure that everyone is safe. Anyone with the intent of committing violence has no business at our rally."

As my daddy often said the Demoncraps, 'DON'T KNOW THEIR ARSE FROM A HOLE IN THE GROUND !'

You wish.

tedlieu Trump very very clear about what was gonna happen He said DONT GO so people didn't go

No, this time they didn’t fall for the setup bullshit like they did in January. They’re realizing that the democrats are using them to vilify Trump because he scares them.

Insurrectionists Crickets

Did you not know President Trump warned his supporters not to go? Or are you intentionally spreading FakeNews ?

'Violent extremists abroad and violent extremists at home ... are children of the same foul spirit,' George Bush said. 'And it is our continuing duty to confront them.'

CanadiensFan Aka loozapalooza

And you get your news from this guy? Laughable 🤣🤣

Lol that’s not why there was no attendance tedlieu … actually realdonaldtrump recommended people stay home thus since the crowd was minuscule he proved his influential is actually strong fakenews

Actually, the turnout shows that most people don't need justice for Jan. 6th, that it is a movement supported only by a vocal minority, people are tired of unending impeachments. Trump's influence is still there as he was the one to tell people to stay home and not get involved.

Here are some photos of the Rally

Trump's least favorite word: small

Crowd size, that’s below the belt for the big orange

Lol he is probably the betting favorite to win the election in 2024

The government and media must have vertigo from spinning reality so much and so often. Trump literally told people to stay away.

Nah...we were told not to go by the man himself....instead we PACKED college stadiums all across this great country and listened to the chants of FJB!! Stop the BS...your News is Weak.

Due to the late,slow,disastrous approach to pandemia by Trump, USA is a huge graveyard with more than 691000 coronavirus patient’s deaths.Trump destroyed the economy, cannot respond to racial crisis properly & incited violence against Capitol on January 6! Enough is enough!

cann575 I hope Ted is right. I don’t trust Trump or the GOP

Yes, where were all those cowards this weekend? Waiting for trump to say he'd be right there with them? 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣

Give thanks to POTUS DOJNatSec CapitolPolice and all law enforcement agencies that were present. The former's jingle of 'we're the party of law and order' was complete bs and the complete opposite. True law and order is back .

Could it be because Trump called the terrorists to the Capital, said he’d be there with them & then cowardly hid and cheered from a secured area? Could it be that the people who showed up went to jail, lost their jobs and have thousands of dollars in legal fees because of Trump?

🤫 no body cares…

what influences Trump in recent days? Intelligence informed sources or so-called conspiracy theories. Keep pushing is the only way to find out

The orange koolaid doesn’t work anymore ?

Although Trumps supporters make lots of noise including some politicians , I truly believe this is an indication of his waning influence. Many insurrectionists were played by Trump just so he could stay in office and I believe they are finding that out!

What a joke of a story.. the hard line dems, socialists & the 'waning ' Biden supporters will believe any & all propaganda coming from msm when it comes to orange man bad. But come 2022 elections, freedom and america first values will take root and take back the country.

Why are there so many angry and dissatisfied Caucasians, in our country?

Pretty dire they avoided it since it was a trap set by fascists trying to take out anyone who is not a woke cultists

Best headline. This will infuriate him.

Just like the poor showing at his “inauguration’!

Trump and small go hand in hand 🤚 ✋ Ha!

Keep believing that!

Recap: a second terrorist attack on The Capitol effectively prevented with proper law enforcement. Thank you President Biden.

One fizzled event does not mean we should become complacent !

Don't be so sure. When it comes time to vote, they'll come out in droves. DON'T underestimate them. Don't make the same mistake twice.

you 'good people' should really be proud of yourselves. 👏

Earlier in the week you media twits claimed the 'Big Lie' was growing and his base was getting larger, now it's dwindling. You will lie to make the story fit your narrative every time won't you?

freddyatton TFG's gang of terrorists and traitors is relatively small. The bulk of his crowds are an audience seeking lowbrow entertainment, like professional wrestling. They only go to the shows with the acts they get a kick out of.

freddyatton Lot of strange people on this twitter feed , some of them need blocking or go back to TrumpsCuckooChaos .

What If... They were smart enough to plot something nefarious where that the real goal was not protesters showing up, but to see the response TO protesters showing up?

Bull Shit !

This from today’s rally.

Very naive for a journalist to say. Their great man didn't sanction this one. He knows how bad the first one looked to the sane people. His thirty million deplorables are in lockstep.

This was a win for Democracy We haven't totally saved it...but the needle moved a little bit further in the right direction.

williamlegate

Hopefully, losers are beginning to realize that it’s a losing proposition to answer the call of a loser. J6Rally

williamlegate Looks like his inauguration

Thank Goodness.

Ted Lieu is correct

williamlegate Disagree. First time was an inside job. They knew they couldn't get away with anything with the new guy in charge.

Yeah, because they've been told its a set up

Maybe TFG’s waning influence is I part due to the large number of his unvaccinated supporters that are in hospital or have died.

Trump literally told people not to go to this Fed invented glowie circlejerk. Here’s a fed arresting another fed pretending to be a protestor.

Who is Trump?

And after only 9 months. At some point the GOP has to face the fact they backed the wrong horse. Delicious!

If the media would stop covering his every utterance, this irrelevant gangster would disappear 🇺🇸

The gravy seals are afraid of the fbi. 🤣

It was the biggest Jan 6th insurrection support that anyone's ever seen. Nobody's ever done anything like this. It was something. Believe me. People are telling me it was the best ever. Very good people. Nobody's ever done anything like this. Joe Biden will never match this.

I think that’s a stretch, Ted.

tedlieu They were afraid because the security was tight. Terrorists only like soft targets.

It wasn’t a Trump Rally, it had absolutely nothing to do with Trump or any political party. It was about civil rights. People were there from the left and the right. If Ted Lie had watched he’d have heard every representative say it’s not about Trump.

Shrinkage

Haha. I knew someone was still going to run a article like this. Trump gets 40k at a rally and is the leader who everyone wants endorsements from

Not a waning influence. Don’t fool yourself. There was rumors of a false flag planned to blame on supporters. So they got what they wanted. 1. To make it look like nobody cares or 2. False flag with large crowd. But trump is still going strong Newsweek. 😂😂

Americans have a short attention span, and 2024 is too far away for most people to care about. Tell me in 2 years if his influence is still waning. I hope it is, but I won't be surprised if the GOP is back to kowtowing to him.

“Waning influence” sounds about right. JusticeforJ6wasAJoke

Uhhh didn't he tell people not to go?

The corrupt Republicans are giving aid and comfort to the domestic terrorists,that is supposed to be a crime in this country.

Trumps Influence proven by nobody going when he told them not to go.

Or they’re smart enough to stay away.

Timy hands rally!

Even compared to Donald’s disappointing Inaugural “crowd” this was an embarrassing showing.

tedlieu Boy, the Trümpanzee MAGAt weekend warrior crowd has really slimmed down since last January!

Trump told people not to go. The media wanted this so bad…

Yup. They realized the organizers were timing these to spikes in the pandemic to spike them within their specific group. Guilty as charged.

They are insurrectionists on a loser tour of coordinated attacks. CoordinatedAttack Also known as TREASON! TRE45ON

Lol right

So tired of hearing about what Trump wants. He should have been arrested for insighting a riot!

A new sheriff is in town.

Trump told everyone not to show up. This is hilarious.

Are you really that daft, ? Or do you just assume your readers are that uninformed? Everyone - including Trump - warned people NOT TO ATTEND this rally, assuming it was a setup w/FBI posted everywhere waiting for anyone to even halfway give them a reason.

Actually Trump supporters were never going to attend to attend this event. It’s more like QAnon followers who wanted this

Let’s keep it up

False. No one knew about it till Thursday and most of us smelled a setup, much like January 6th was.
