Tensions this week which are more about the future than any history of January 6 which trump supporters are invoking that fateful day as an alleged injustice to them And they want to use this gathering they say to address that. But there are many contrasts here to january. Instead of a federal government helped by a supporter of the Big Lie, today the biden administration condemns violence And is taking no chances on preparation.
