J6 Rally A Disastrous Dud!

- Low interest in Trump/MAGA rally ends as colossal joke

Spread The Love

Saturday’s Justice For J6 Rally was supposed to be a repeat of the January 6th attack on Capitol Hill.  Instead, it was a big, fat dud!

Top News Today
The J6 Rally was designed to be a demonstration of support for those Trump/MAGA supporters who were arrested and charged for their participation in the January 6th Capitol riots. In fact, the rally was supposed to continue to propel the false narrative that not only did Trump win the election, but the original January event was nothing more than a peaceful gathering of patriots who were never violent and only hoped to protect election integrity. Yeah, right.

J6 Rally

Weeks before the event, rally organizer and former Trump campaign staffer Matt Braynard bragged that prominent Republican members of Congress would speak at the event. He even hinted that Trump himself would likely make an appearance.

“It’s going to be huge… We’re going to push back against the phony narrative that there was an insurrection,” Braynard said during a July 30th interview with right-wing media outlet Real America’s Voice. “We’re going to have some very high-profile speakers there. We’re going to have members of Congress speak.”

In anticipation of the J6 Rally and in an effort to be overly prepared and extremely cautious, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, the Washington, DC Police Department, the FBI, Department of Homeland Security, and others all met and coordinated a response to protect the US Capitol and prevent a repeat of Trump’s January melee.

Fencing was once again erected around the perimeter of the Capitol.  A handful of checkpoints with armed guards permitted entry to only essential authorized personnel.  Police officers in riot gear carrying semi-automatic weapons were at the ready and strategically placed around the area.  Officials were hell-bent to NOT allow the J6 Rally to become a repeat of January 6th.
..

However, in the end, it was all for naught.

Although J6 Rally organizers expected tens of thousands of Trump-loving participants to once again overtake Washington on behalf of their beloved “Dear Leader,” only about 400 people actually showed up.

The “Who’s Who” list of prominent congressional speakers turned out to be ZERO members of Congress in attendance.  Only 3 Republican candidates planning to run for Congress bothered to show.

As for the teased appearance of Donald Trump himself, it was about as real as the alleged missing ballots Trump claims actually won him the 2020 election.

Not only did white supremacy groups and other QAnon/MAGA flunkies fear the wrath of the FBI and hope to avoid being hunted down and arrested like thousands of participants from January 6th, but literally NO elected Republican official dared associate themselves with the J6 Rally.

Needless to say, the couple of hundred participants who actually bothered to travel to DC were not amused.

“Where’s [Republican House Minority Leader Kevin] McCarthy? Where’s [Republican Senate Minority Leader] McConnell? They’re all useless,” a few participants shouted from the crowd.

“They’re cowards because they’re not standing up for those constitutional rights. They’re supposed to be protected. I call them political animals who are afraid of bad media coverage,” Steve Merkel, of Baltimore, Maryland told members of the press.

“It’s really upsetting none of them came,” Casey Crawford of Missouri said.

“You see videos of Congresswoman [Marjorie Taylor] Greene who went to the jail cell and stood outside, saying she wanted to get in and make sure things were OK,” Crawford continued. “They put on these shows that they care… but don’t take the position that you want to stand up for people and then hide in an office.”

J6 Rally

And so, once again, the Trump MAGA sycophants got tricked into giving their time, their money, and their effort in support of his cause — and once again, they got left stranded at the altar while holding the bag!

NBC: The lack of attendance could be connected with conspiracy theories about the rally pushed by Trump and other right-wingers. Users on extremist forums on platforms like TheDonald and 4chan, NBC News reported, were warning potential attendees that they believed the event was a “false flag” or “honeypot” where federal agents will entrap Trump supporters into committing violence. In an interview with The Federalist on Thursday, the former president echoed conspiracy theories that the event was a “setup.” “On Saturday, that’s a setup,” Trump said. “If people don’t show up they’ll say, ‘Oh, it’s a lack of spirit.’ And if people do show up they’ll be harassed.” But immediately afterward, the former president also issued a statement saying: “Our hearts and minds are with the people being persecuted so unfairly relating to the January 6th protest concerning the Rigged Presidential Election. In addition to everything else, it has proven conclusively… Read more »

Trump was covering his ass here, setting himself up for credit had turnout been huge while also being able to distance himself from the event in case it fails. After all, few things are more Trumpian than taking credit for others’ success and refusing accountability for his own failures. […] – NBC

There. I fixed it. 

Mr.BD

Thanks for posting this Wil. Trump is always trying to have it both ways.

Thanks for this follow-up post DJ. Looked forward to reading.

Okay so ….a show of hands of who was actually surprised by yet another big fat Trump-related Fail?

Nobody? I thought not.

Yep. In the lead up to this pathetic event, I prayed it would Fail. But I had also expressed that I didn’t think it was going to amount to much IF anything at all. It had “FAIL” written all over it much like the recent CA governor’s recall FAIL by fascist LOSERS of the same ilk.

That said. We must NOT error in our thinking that:

“The very small crowd size at the #JusticeforJ6 traitorous rally shows the waning influence of the former President.” -Rep. Ted Lieu (D-CA)

Nope. The small crowd size and the total absence of ALL elected Repub officials simply confirms what many of Us have said is their primary trait. They are FAKE tough guys (like Trump).

In other words, COWARDS.

Hey friends,
It’s been a long time since I posted here, I know. I’ve been exceptionally busy with work, my causes, etc.

About this rally, it was always destined to fail. Many of you know I live in DC and I can tell you the intimidation factor of an overwhelming police presence was a strong deterrent. These DC cops and federal agents were not to be played with. They had undercover cops and the whole nine ready to sniff out the first hint of trouble. A lot of these white power militias and other groups realized they were outnumbered and simply stayed home. That’s about the size of it.

As for 45, it’s no surprise he distanced himself then left his flock out to dry. Par for the course with him.

Hey Saleem!

Good to hear from you whenever you’re able to stop by and share your voice. And you’re right:

“A lot of these white power militias and other groups realized they were outnumbered and simply stayed home.” 

And they also didn’t want their cowardly-azz faces plastered all over cable news and the internet for ALL the world (including their bosses, family members and friends) to see.

Saleem

I appreciate the words my sister. I’ll be chiming in whenever I can.
