rally in DC to support the insurrectionists

Fresno CA

Description

Representative Eric Swalwell has warned that "Republicans are going to come to the Capitol to celebrate cop killers" over a rally planned for September 18 to seek "justice" for individuals who have been charged in connection to the January 6 Capitol riot. A "Justice for J6" event at the Union Square area of the Capitol grounds has been organized by a nonprofit group led by former Trump campaign operative Matt Braynard to protest charges against January 6 rioters. Braynard has assured authorities that the rally will be peaceful, but D.C. police have expressed fears that it will quickly turn violent. "This is America, they can peacefully assemble, they can celebrate what they want. But Americans should know that in a couple of weeks, Republicans are going to come to the Capitol to celebrate cop killers," the California Democrat told host Jim Acosta on CNN Newsroom Saturday. (It sounds like, for this reason and others, that there are a lot of folks out there who just don't care for the way our government works. Who else would celebrate an attack on our capitol? Are we going to have an 'insurrection 2'? Will be interesting to watch.)
