we fight like hell, and if you don’t fight like hell, you’re not gonna have a country anymore. President Trump, who professed a law and order platform, whipped up thousands of his supporters with strident rhetoric late Wednesday morning, immediately after they marched to the seat of American democracy and violently stormed it. Damage in the U. S Capitol building, injuring police and stopping the constitutionally required process to certify Joe Biden’s win. So who are they? They are the president’s supporters call to action on social media. The National Park Service issued three official rally permits, one organized by the conservative group Women for America.

Protesters merged with a South Carolina activists Silent majority group to join the Quote Wild Protest group on Capitol Hill. The wild protest did not follow DC rules and getting a permit. While the controversial and violence prone Proud Boys group is in attendance, leaders directed many of them not to wear their trademark yellow and black clothing to better blend in with the crowd. Police arrested the leader of the proud boys earlier this week, accusing him of burning a black lives matter banner at a black church last month. Those or the fax in Washington?
