D.C. On Alert As MAGA Fans Plot Rally Defending Rioters

The first deadline for government agencies and social media companies to comply with the January 6th committee’s records request for communications between Trump and his inner circle has passed. At the same time, new intelligence is putting DC law enforcement on high alert ahead of the so-called “Justice for J6” rally planned for late September. MSNBC’s Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber is joined by political strategist Chai Komanduri to discuss. (This interview is from MSNBC’s “The Beat with Ari Melber, a news show covering politics, law and culture airing nightly at 6pm ET on MSNBC. ).

    1. @Major Nelson no dead people voted but nice try. The only people to attempt to use dead people to submit a vote is republicans and that’s a fact. No illegal immigrants voted and no fraudulent votes have been discovered

  1. Time for the traitors/republicans to show us what they’re all about once again…..Can you imagine the fit they’re going to throw when traitor 45 is sentenced…..LOL..

    1. @13bustah PROJECTION ! AND SELF DESCRIPTION ! MAN UP ! STOP LYING AND CRYING ! MAN UP ! MASK UP, AND VAX UP, OR STAY HOME ! ✊ 🙏 🇺🇲

    2. @Stuckinnazicalifornia NO, YOU GOT IT TWISTED, AS YOU GOOFS HISTORICALLY DO ! THAT 25 PERCENT IS THE NUMBERS OF NEW CASES OF COVID IN OUR CHILDREN ! THEY MAKE UP 25 PERCENT OF ALL NEW CASES ! WE NEED TO PUT AN END TO THE SPREAD. DON’T YOU CARE ABOUT AMERICANS’ CHILDREN ? SO, MAN UP, MASK UP, AND VAX UP ! 🇺🇲 ✊👍 🇺🇲

    3. @Stuckinnazicalifornia Let me help you, since you obviously don’t understand what Biden has done.

      President Biden announced the most sweeping COVID-19 vaccine requirements yet on Thursday, which will affect roughly 100 million Americans. The new measures include a vaccine mandate for all federal workers and contractors, and a requirement that large companies must mandate vaccines or regular testing for employees.

      There are no ‘forced’ vaccinations. Government employees & contractors can make a choice. Get vaccinated or work elsewhere.
      Private sector workers have the option of getting vaccinated, tested regularly or work where this mandate doesn’t apply.

      NO FORCED VACCINATIONS. <---- Read that out loud. If you think California is a Nazi state, you clearly don't understand Nazism.

    1. @Samuel DeChamplain most the damage done wasn’t because of BLM protests. Republicans and non voters showed up and used it as an excuse to justify looting and rioting. How else do you explain mostly republicons arrested?

    2. @Connie Marich can you show me video of entire cities being flattened? A couple trash can fires and broken glass isn’t flattening the city

    3. @k333rl It is perfectly acceptable to condemn one and condone the other, because the difference between the two is spelled out in the US Declaration of Independence (which Trump worshippers have read, of course): “Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security.”

      400 years of abuse and neglect by police and government agencies is a “long train of abuses and usurpations” which gives Black Americans the right and duty to throw off such government and to provide new leaders for society’s future security, while Trump’s mob of mindless traitors tried to overthrow the government and abolish the Constitution for the lightest of transient causes- because an obese, illiterate, spray-tanned game-show host whined on Twitter about losing an election.

      One group has a legitimate grievance against the government and the other does not.

    4. @Marijuanifornia major issue with that is that we don’t have despotism. And interesting that you agree with burning and looting of innocent businesses because a lifelong criminal got what was coming to him. A riot is not the right way to get “justice”

    5. @Marijuanifornia 2nd major issue. BLM protest were 95% white people. Not even black people as you are claiming who have this right. Which they don’t. You trying to burn down a system, only makes blowback from your 95% white liberal revolution. That is “For blacks” not really. You burnt down black small bussinesses, you killed black people in your autonomous zone. I think the real racist is in plain sight. Liberals trying to use black people as cover, for just what they want. Not even worried about the blowback, or targeting as they sit in their safe middle class suburbs, after the riots. Meanwhile destroying the community of inner cities, that majoirty of black people live in or depend on.

    1. @George Enke but but yall wanted to destroy the constitution on jan6 and install a king..why?? 🥺😭🇺🇲💔

    2. ​@George Enke ​ and you should research why Miller contacted Capitol Police (ran by legislative, not executive) on Jan 3rd. On behalf of a verbal recommendation from Trump, demanding them to bring the national guard to the capitol on Jan 6th. Completely ignored because they needed everything they could get to make trump look bad. pathetic.

    3. Trump said back in 2020, only antifa and left wing radicals riot. His supporters are peacefully
      protesting patriots. If they do the same on 9/18 it should be RIP for them.

    4. @John Godley imagine calling in the national guard against your own people 3 days before an event. get ignored, then be blamed for the one thing you alone wanted to prevent.

    5. @Señor Sanchez⛧ the intolerant left are the only ones trying to destroy the constitution. This feed is proof, people here are wanting to destroy the people’s right to assemble because they don’t agree with their political beliefs. Trump’s last rally had 50000 attendees and there was no violence.

  2. This time make sure there’s sufficient police and federal officers to control the situation before it gets out of hand. If unsure just taze the idiots!

    1. @Fezz Parka Let’s hope you’re right. Myself, I will never forgive Capitol Police for their passive complicity on 1/06.

    2. @Random Internet User Hitler said things that the people wanted to hear. ie: a bright future, work, etc. He promised to “make Germany great above all the world”. He was a “powerful speaker”, mesmerizing the people with his anger and rage. His “speeches” were repetitious ( brainwashing) making small lies into BIG lies, blaming Germany’s problems on the “Jews and communists”. In 1932 the Nazi party won only 1/3 of the parliament, but Hitler partnered with “conservative” conventional politicians who thought they could “control” him. With no alternative then president VonHindenburg appointed Hitler the Chancellor in 1933. In addition, (like tRump), Hitler called the media “the enemy of the people” and spewed hatred and division. A short time in his ruling a mysterious fire in Germany’s Parliament building caused a national security emergency giving him an “excuse” to “crush” the “communists”, and silence the “moderates”, now that he had full “power”. There was no longer “middle ground”. Senators and Congressmen who defied him were quickly silenced, either put into camps or executed. The similarities between Hitler and tRump is astounding. The Jan 6th insurrection on our Capital was the closest we came to losing our Democracy to an Autocratic dictator.

    3. @DJ9194cr Patriots don’t storm the capital in an attempt to stop a constitutional process. Wrapping yourself in a flag as you attack your own country does not make you a Patriot.

  3. Greene isn’t going because she can coordinate the next riot better from home and she won’t risk herself getting hurt.

    1. @Loida Esther out with the oath keepers, the 3 %, proud boys, organizations that peddle politics pretending to be a religion, or ban all religions every where! Out with the aryan brotherhood and the black Panthers. The sovereign citizens need to be kicked to the curb. And all the flat earthers should take a long walk. Antivaxx antimask need a FEMA camp. Blah blah blah… it’s not gonna happen. Not on either side. Stay in the middle as long as it holds.

    2. The only coordinators of deadly riots are Nancy pelosi and her robot followers. The dems are responsible and you know it. You would believe the sky is polka dot is Nancy said so. No common sense in the empty heads of the left.

  4. Marjorie has two half brains: ‘left’ and ‘right’.
    In the left side, there’s nothing right.
    In the right side, there’s nothing left.

    1. Datcarestudent, I’m a Lieutenant in the US Navy Reserves and an RN working in critical care. Do you only speak in childish clichés; have you ever had an original thought?@DENCH

    2. Daycarestudent, Love your channel image; is it by an Impressionist? Is it by Monet, titled ‘White non-college educated male’? Or is it abstract, maybe Pollack’s ‘The Imbecile’? (snickers and sincerity; ).
      @DENCH

    1. @Just Send Your reply reveals your level of intelligence. Thanks for sharing it with us. You have just confirmed that you are a Trump supporter.

    1. @JOYA MAHAN No fact. I live in a red state and it is fked up with the poor and violence. I just worked practically all of my life and saved. Your ignorance precedes you. Google: the facts also Google how democrat are fighting for you. Did you receive those stimulus checks that the democrats passed? And republiCONS still fight to not give their constituents support. They try to destroy blue states, yet, you are poor states. 😂. Our democrats support you and us. 🤔

    2. @JOYA MAHAN really smart guy? Bc I served my country overseas and I chose teaching as a follow up career to serve the next generation of progressive young ppl precisely bc I love my country. Got any other winning theories?

  5. i think Nancy Pelosi should have the cops load up Kevin and several other GOPs….and dump them in the middle of the “protest”…..as they’re such good friends with these traitors, lol.

    1. @imj tapcir you mean Trump the dictatorship communist party. I feel for the people in Florida having to live under a dictatorship.

    2. @Gabriele Dugan Florida a dictatorship? Where do you even come up with these statements? How do you actually believe them.

  6. I hope the DC Jail and any other facility holding the insurrectionists will be protected. These rally rioters may be planning to “free” the Jan 6 Prisoners.

    1. They’re not in jail, they’re in Federal prison. They violated a Federal building. If a prison isn’t ready for a jail break, they’ve got bigger problems.

  7. If they step out of line deal with them appropriately this time. I hope everyone is prepared to act against any attack on our institutions.

    1. @Florida Man Protesting is COMPLETELY different than a FAILED COUP against the US Government. Google it and learn something. And your comment “delaying on Jan.6 didn’t overturn the election” doesn’t make sense. On Jan. 6 their attack was about overturning the election, but they failed. Our election was safe and secure per US Cyber Security Chief, tRUMPS Attorney General Bill Barr, and many others including 62 JUDGES and 2 SCOTUS Judges.

    2. @Larry Garland Absolutely. Anyone. Had it been Antifa that desecrated the Capitol they would been mowed down without remorse and you would be ecstatic about it.

    3. @Gloria K the reports about cybersecurity during the election is about *foreign interference*. Those reports had nothing to do with people hand counting those ballots and did something malicious.

  8. These Terrorists and Thugs! Can downplay what they did that day, but video footage tells the TRUTH! All of those animals should be jailed!

    1. @Val Syaranamual did you see the video? The public has been kept from the truth. Who killed those 4 capitol hill cops? Have you seen video of 90 % of the “rioters” calmly walking around and waived in. We know truth. Peace brother.

    2. @JOYA MAHAN the ones that were actually arrested (the very few) were released by the Harris bail fund and went on to murder and commit more crimes.

    3. @Frank Ficentese you’re far too dim- witted to know the difference between a con man and a good man. Your parents are partially responsible for your ignorance but most of it is on you son.

    1. as technicality see US Code 18 Chapter 115 Section 2381 TREASON defined as “Levying War”, but guess not desperate enough yet

    1. @Frank Ficentese
      “They” killed the rights of waaaay more people for the actions of way less……

      9-11
      Remember?

  9. They’ll fail, just like they did back in January, cause this time, we have a president (a real one that is) who isn’t inciting them and cheering them on; this president is prepared and will defend the heart of American democracy…

    1. @JOYA MAHAN here we are, months after the election and still it is 100% proven the election was NOT rigged or stolen; Trump just doesn’t want to admit he lost, he will NEVER be president again…

    2. @Oceanside Affirmations well, if people (yourself included) would just stop buying into lies, conspiracy theories, misinformation and false beliefs, he wouldn’t have to do this; he’s trying to get rid of the pandemic wheather you believe it or not, just get the vaccine….

  10. It is hard to believe that the Trash coming to DC would be so stupid to give the FBI the chance to collect data on all of them and their family members.!!!..But then, if they were not real stupid, they would not be supporting Don the Con.

    1. The only trash going to DC have already been there. It was a plane full of covid positive democrats fighting the will of the people which means they were fighting democracy.

    1. @Scahoni So were the US soldiers on D-Day. Go to a VFW meeting and tell them to respect the rights of traitors and cowards who wave the flags of our enemies.

    1. @Denise Johnson nah, they’ll all die of COVID or get themselves shot at the 2nd WADC rally. They’re right, it will be justice for J6; all of them who should have been shot the last time will get it this time!!

    2. @DJ9194cr You’re calling people “morons”? You should learn to properly read and write at least ONE language.
      Do that before you start insulting other people’s intelligence….
