Trump and Supporters Whitewash January 6
The rightwing conspiracy rally at the Capitol is the latest attempt by Trump and his supporters to rewrite the violence of the January 6 Insurrection.
Capitol Police prepare for potential violence at Saturday’s “Justice for J6” rally as rightwing extremist groups spread conspiracy theories of a government “trap” by federal authorities. Trump released a statement repeating his Big Lie about the 2020 election and reasserting his support for the January 6 rioters.
