Please explain to me why any of these idiots would be given a permit to rally supporting hate? FREE the Jan 6th Hate Fest who were locked up? We know this is a Hate fest.
Free speech my left foot. This will be another hate rally.
Lawmakers and law enforcement officials are growing concerned about the possibility of violence and unrest on Capitol Hill as two key dates approach next month: a right-wing rally in support of the jailed January 6 rioters and the 20th anniversary of 9/11.
Those fresh fears come as the community is still reeling from a recent bomb scare near the complex involving a man critical of Democrats, including President Joe Biden. The event ended without incident, but still sent a chill through Capitol Hill and provided law enforcement yet another example of the risks of a toxic political climate.Now, as security preparations ramp up for a "Justice for J6" rally planned for September 18 on the Capitol grounds, serious discussions are underway about reinstalling the temporary fencing around the Capitol's perimeter, according to multiple sources familiar with the planning.
The attendees are Proud Boys, Oath Keepers and other trash who do not love this country and hate half of this country that does not bow to Trump or support The Big Lie.
The Associated Press reported Wednesday that far-right extremist groups including members of Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are planning to attend a rally at the Capitol in Washington, D.C., later this month.
Citing three sources who requested anonymity, the AP reported the rallygoers intend to demand "justice" for hundreds of people incarcerated on a variety of charges for breaching the Capitol on Jan. 6 in protest of the 2020 presidential election results.
What does demand justice mean from these haters? I mean, were they not demanding nooses and murder on January 6th? DEMAND is a big word. What are their intentions with their demands? I think again they are being taken not serious enough.
But several lawmakers on the far right -- including Reps. Louie Gohmert of Texas, Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Matt Gaetz of Florida and Paul Gosar of Arizona -- have tried to rally public support for the jailed insurrectionists, referring to them as "political prisoners."
Added Rep. Mikie Sherrill, a New Jersey Democrat and US Navy helicopter pilot: "I don't think this is a renewed threat, I think this is a continuation of the outbreak of violence we saw on January 6."Nearly seven months after the insurrection, Congress passed an aid package designed to bolster security at the Capitol complex. That legislation included new funding for law enforcement and security upgrades for the building, such as hardening windows and doors and installing new security cameras.But Rep. Jamie Raskin, a Maryland Democrat who was a House impeachment manager during Trump's trial this year and now serves on the January 6 select committee tasked with investigating the riot, said that more work needs to be done to address the root causes of political violence.
This rally should NOT be happening at Taxpayer expense with all of the security costs. It is like telling the KKK to march into all AME churches and express their true feelings without their sheets, IMO. It is also not an act of freedom when people who clearly want freedom for only people who think their way and lies and no permit should be given. Violence and hate should never be given a platform.
