Security was tight at the U.S. Capitol, the scene of a deadly siege in January, after police warned that a U.S. militia group might try to attack it again to mark a key date on the calendar connected to the baseless QAnon conspiracy theory

WASHINGTON - A smattering of followers of the QAnon conspiracy theory gathered near the U.S. Capitol on Thursday, the day the movement had predicted former President Donald Trump’s return to office, but they were far outnumbered by security forces deployed to deter any possible attack.

“Every day that we’re here, we’ll probably come out around noon and see if anything transpires,” Karyn, 52, told Reuters. “If it doesn’t happen, we’ll obviously be sad ‘cause it didn’t happen while we were here, but we believe that it will happen. It just hasn’t happened yet.” While the Carsons were undeterred by the lack of activity at the Capitol, media reports said that QAnon influencers had backtracked, posting on message boards that the March 4 theory was planted by the movement’s enemies to make it look foolish.

Both siblings said they had no intention of trying to restore Trump to power with violence, and they deplored the deadly attack on the Capitol in January.
