Less than a week before the results of the presidential election are to be certified, officials in the District of Columbia are fearmongering about a pro-Trump rally scheduled for the same day in the nation’s capital. These individuals claim that the event is being backed by extremists despite knowing that the rally will feature well-known conservative activists and lawmakers from across the nation.
The rally’s website states that the event will have a wide array of right-leaning speakers including Kimberly Fletcher, founder of Moms for America, school safety activist Andrew Pollack, Jenny Beth Martin from Tea Party Patriots, and other activists.

The Proud Boys will need a new DC gathering spot if they come to town on January 6, as Donald Trump has urged his supporters to do. The Hotel Harrington will be closed on January 4, 5, and 6. Harry’s, the bar on its first floor, will be closed on the 5th and 6th.
The hotel did not say why it’s closing for those days, but the Proud Boys and other Trump supporters instigated a chaotic, violent scene downtown during the last pro-Trump protest in December. “While we cannot control what happens outside of the hotel,” the Harrington wrote in a statement, “we are taking additional steps to protect the safety of our visitors, guests and employees.”
