Trump's Far-right Rally Draws Small Crowd At Capitol by abc115: 10:21pm On Sep 18, 2021 |
Trump's far-right rally organized to protest those charged in connection with the deadly Jan. 6 insurrection has appeared to draw a small crowd of people, according to circulating news footage and images on the ground. News of the crowd came after significant buildup of security forces and the resurrection of a protective fence around the U.S. Capitol amid concerns from officials of violence and chaos reminiscent of the January attack. A small crowd of attendees began to gather at the Capitol on Saturday morning ahead of the scheduled demonstration dubbed the “Justice for J6” rally. Reporters and videographers on the ground in Washington noted that there seemed to a heavier presence of police and press than actual rallygoers. “Still seems like more press than protesters. Less than one demonstrator per member of Congress as the scheduled event begins,” Jonathan Allen, a NBC News reporter, tweeted. “Less than a half-hour before the start of this “Justice For J6 (Jan. 6)” rally, there are not a ton of people at the protest site. There are just as many journalists here, and probably more police,” David Jackson, a correspondent with USA Today tweeted. https://thehill.com/policy/national-security/572872-far-right-rally-draws-small-crowd-at-capitol |
