Cincinnati Enquirer
The program? To hear firsthand from six Trump loyalists who attended the Jan,. 6 rally in Washington D.C. – the very rally that ended with a riot at the U.S. Capitol and the second impeachment for the president.
Chris Hicks, a Clermont County Republican and leader of Clermont for Trump organization, wanted the public to hear from local people who went.
The 40 people who showed up to the R.J. Cinema and Distillery in Union Township Wednesday didn t blame Trump for the riot that ensued. I support him more than I ever did, Doug Gerrard, of Owensville, told The Enquirer outside the theater. He still speaks for me. He s being attacked by the news media. He s being attacked by the Democrats, I don t think it s for any reason.
