CSPAN covering the 3rd Annual Press Conference about the ”attack” and signs saying “Democracy Is On The Line” are in the background.
The DC Rep (Elenor Holmes) trying to talk about how Trump didn’t send in the DC National Guard and how it took hours and how it would have saved “lives” etc. and how the people of DC are mostly “black and brown” and deserved better protection (remember EVERYTHING happens or doesn’t happen BECAUSE OF race).
But some protester is screaming about Israel nearby. Hard to if it’s pro or con, but they aren’t concerned with January 6. I hear “genocide”
Second speaker says “sorry if I repeat anything, but I couldn’t hear what they said.” He says there were 5 police officers deaths. Says “the truth about January 6 must be told,” then talks about all the trials and convictions. (Was the truth used to get them?) Then devolves into talking about Trump’s lawsuits and indictments.
Seems like they are all “winging it.” Really getting thrown off by the other protestors. No notes.
