House Speaker Nancy Pelosi condemned those who plan to attend a Sept. 18 rally outside the Capitol.
Pelosi accused those who plan to attend of trying to “praise the people who were out to kill” on January 6th during the Capitol Riot.
According to spokesperson Brianna Burch, the DC Police have an “increased presence around the city where demonstrations will be taking place.”
Per Business Insider:
Capitol Police are preparing security ahead of a right-wing protest in Washington, DC, on September 18, according to an internal memo obtained by CNN. Intelligence officials told the Associated Press members of far-right extremist groups like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are expected to attend the rally.
The rally, dubbed “Justice for J6,” aims to support the events of January 6 and demand “justice” for suspected rioters criminally charged in the insurrection. Support for the September event also increased following the unveiling of the identity of Capitol Police officer who shot Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt, CNN reported.
