Trump expresses solidarity with rioters arrested in Jan. 6 attack ahead of planned rally
John Wagner 2-2 minutes 9/16/2021
Former president Donald Trump voiced solidarity Thursday with people being prosecuted in connection with the Jan. 6 insurrection, issuing a statement ahead of a rally planned Saturday in Washington to protest their treatment.
“Our hearts and minds are with the people being persecuted so unfairly relating to the January 6th protest concerning the Rigged Presidential Election,” Trump said in a statement. “In addition to everything else, it has proven conclusively that we are a two-tiered system of justice. In the end, however, JUSTICE WILL PREVAIL!”
Police are bracing for Saturday’s “Justice for J6 rally,” being planned by a nonprofit group led by former Trump campaign staffer Matt Braynard.
The goal, Braynard has said, is to peacefully demand that charges against nonviolent Jan. 6 protesters be dropped. Braynard claims those protesters “reasonably believed” they had permission to enter the Capitol. About 700 rallygoers are expected to attend.
Trump has not announced plans to attend or otherwise participate Saturday.
Contrary to Trump’s claims, no evidence has emerged of widespread fraud in the 2020 presidential race.
A pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6 to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s presidential win, the worst attack on the seat of democracy since the War of 1812. Hundreds were arrested after the violent insurrection that injured more than 140 members of law enforcement and resulted in the deaths of five people. More than 600 people have been charged with federal crimes related to the attack.

I'm sorry, Your Honor, you have to let me go. I reasonably believed all the money in the bank vault was mine. /s
This is an asinine defense. Most of the non-violent "protesters" have been let out with probation or misdemeanor charges. Those still in jail have been deemed violent by the judges overseeing their cases.
But Mom...Johnny was doing it...
These pampered "Karens" are simply invoking (white) privilege! It's the old wink and a nod: "If it's "White its right!" We all can see, hear, smell, hell even 'taste' the assertion of privilege on the right-wing! And no, ANTIFA or BLM would not dare to claim the same and the conservatives would never offer them an 'out' such as this! RIGHT-WING MULLIGAN TIME!
As for Donald Trump: Where the HECK are his tax returns? Where is the public report of what he put on this WHITE HOUSE SECRET SERVER we were told about?
What the heck democrats, you don't have anything to show to stop a villain from being villainous yet?! WHERE'S THE BEEF?
