What You Need To Know About The Planned Sept. 18th Rally

Some right wing extremists are promoting an upcoming Washington D.C. rally in solidarity with those arrested on January 6th, but other groups are telling their members to stay away. Jared Holt, a resident fellow at the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab, says much of the concern over the event has been “hyperbolic,” but says it could “lay patchwork” for future events similar to January 6th. Holt and former federal prosecutor Paul Butler join Jonathan Capehart to discuss what to expect on September 18th.

  1. Republicans not being investigated is like asking Turkeys if Thanks Giving should be abolished, OF COURSE they will all agree!

    1. @World of Fools two types of t=rumpers: too stupid to breathe, and racists. The two are not mutually exclusive.

    2. @James Smith yeah they only had lanes the events and then rioted but let’s not hold them accountable 🤦‍♂️

    1. @Engage360
      I bet you heard all that BS on Fox News! Biden Admin is doing a GREAT job, and will be even better when they take care of that lil Sept 18, situation.

    1. @William Parks I love your sarcasm. Put the liars in their place. It was a violent insurrection. I am glad they did not get to use those hidden pipe bombs.

    2. @Antoinette Dickson let’s see the democratic party is the party of the KKK. The democratic party is the party that has passed every single racist law in the history of the USA. Yet somehow you think Republicans who have always been at the forefront of the civil rights movement are the racists.

    1. @N Q as the american Indians say you attacked us on jan 6 and are coming back to celebrate on sep 18. No way the Indians and others have put on their death faces for you traitors

    2. Like, ya know, like imperialist stuff, like I think like… Well, imperialist stuff like, in history? ‘Cause, like well, oppression n stuff like that? I think that we should like, focus on like well, injustice, ’cause like, well, colonialist or well, like healthcare and like stuff like social justice like stuff? Ya know? ‘Cause like, there’s so much like, disparity ‘n like, well, stuff like well, stuff that’s unfair, ya know? Like, we should be focused on like, well, healing n stuff like that, ya know? Like, I’m well, all for like, well, social justice n stuff, right?

    3. @MooseHead wouldnt be surprised if russians gave gqp laundered money to be distributed throughout party since 2016. They obviously like to peddle russian intel talking points.

    1. @Bay are u kidding me it wasnt a peaceful protest it was an insurection because cry baby trump lost thats why its being investigated by republicans an democrats

    2. @Biden will get us all killed yes there was theirs video an audio proof an thats why its being investigated by district attorneys an democrats an republicans in congress

    3. @Gregg lol really a corrupt fbi the fbi is mainly staffed by trump people am the head of the fbi was appointed by trump so if it is corrupt that would make since because it would be trumps fault sheep

    4. To be fair, mccarthy and company’s eyeballs are only about 3 feet off the ground, because they’re permanently down on their knees with their faces buried between trump’s fat orange buttcheeks.

  2. There should be a relentless pursuit of all records related to those congressional enablers of the January 6 insurrection. Leave no stone unturned.

    1. @Sid Garrett Capitol security is not solely the responsibility of the House speaker. It is provided by the sergeants-at-arms of the House and Senate, and by the Capitol Police. There is also a committee.
      The House sergeant-at-arms reports to the House speaker, or Pelosi. The Senate sergeant-at-arms reports to the Senate majority leader, Sen. Mitch McConnell.

    2. @Romance with the Past Lmao. That’s was hilarious. Thank you for the laugh moron. This has me in stitches. Lmao

    3. @Romance with the Past that’s one person clown. He was wearing a loosely fitted Trump hat. Lmao. Republicans are the dumbest people on earth.

    1. @TheU2001 MIA there’s a number of checklist items. Trump fits along the oligarch facist niche. ” If it quacks like a 🦆 duck…

    2. @N Q keep strutting. It’s all you have left, now that the soldiers are likelier to shoot back.
      Woof about how hard you are, but the fences and rubber bullets are a reminder to play nicer, this time.
      And, if you crack the defenses again this time, the Barrett’s and mini-guns will have a rebuttal, and you can starve, while ranged fire picks you apart, and your business’s assets are used for your eventual trial.

    3. Well put. Explains why they have had to subpoena 5 election officials and the Sheriff from Maricopa county in AZ because they refuse to give the auditors the routers and passwords.

    4. @Random Internet User I bet you study a gender book and wear all black and attack people who are Republican on the weekend. 😉

  3. Before January 6, security needs were downplayed, capitol police were told to keep their riot gear in their cars or lockers, they set it up so bringing in the National Guard would be difficult & take hours to achieve.
    None of that will be true on September 18 or any other insurrectionist protests.
    The good guys will be fully prepared, riot gear & real bullets.

    1. Please don’t say they are “the good guys” just because they are in the national guard or capitol police. Some of them were involved in the capitol 6th event, and police from other states traveled to the event to cause havoc. I’m always fearful when we define people with authority and weapons as “the good guys”.

      I’m not a huge fan of police in general but I do wish them health and safety. I cannot imagine how some of them are feeling after that event where they STILL do not have the opportunity to call it what it is. I’m proud of officer Fanone for highlighting this exact point in his testimony.

    2. The good guys are prepared. That would be the police and the military. You know, the people you socialists have been attacking, murdering and defunding the last 2 years. The police hate you lefties and rightfully so.

    1. Anyone who argues with these traitors, are wasting their time. They have declared war on our government, accusing it of being “stolen,” and illegitimate. Time to either put up or shut up with these domestic terrorists, because the longer they impose their fascist ideology on our country, the stronger their influence will become. Listen to the hatred, lies, and selective
      memories of some of the people posting , and you know what they want is to take control of the government for themselves, and are willing to do so at any cost.

    2. Unfortunately for you and anyone you know who is now owned by the govt will be in fear. If not from losing your life it will be people you know. Gonna wish you never took it. Too late now for you. And get that sleeve rolled up for number 3 coming for you. If your healthy enough to go get it that is.

    1. @Whicker did you even read the story?? This has NOTHING to do with Afghanistan!! LISTEN UP AND PAY FU$&ING ATTENTION!!

    1. That only applies to direct testimony or police interrogation, and if Justice in DC is anything like my slice of America, they only tell you your rights AFTER you have spilled your guts.

    2. @Warren H That’s correct. Cops do anything and everything to lock people up. Job security. More money for prison industrial complex etc. They will and can flout around the legality of it all. They don’t have to read your rights at any specific time the court will rule. Just that you were read them at some point. We don’t have rights, we’re poor. Only rich elites get the fair treatment

    1. @Sean Hovan He did not realize people were so cruel and heartless that they would choose to politicize a lifesaving vaccine for selfish reasons. Sometimes when you take a vow to protect the people of America, you may have to change your mind now and then in order to do so effectively.

  4. ‘what are you guys doing?” “We’re overthrowing the government” “why are you guys doing this?” “Donald Trump told us to”
    …there is no spinning that conservatives can do to dismiss an admission during the crime.

    1. @sean jokela nice try! 🤣 The only thing more disgusting than Lying Cheating Joe are the stupid people that voted for him 🤮

  5. Just my two cents, I highly recommended no counter protesters go to this rally. Whatever happens don’t give them the option of blaming the other side..

    1. Like, ya know, like imperialist stuff, like I think like… Well, imperialist stuff like, in history? ‘Cause, like well, oppression n stuff like that? I think that we should like, focus on like well, injustice, ’cause like, well, colonialist or well, like healthcare and like stuff like social justice like stuff? Ya know? ‘Cause like, there’s so much like, disparity ‘n like, well, stuff like well, stuff that’s unfair, ya know? Like, we should be focused on like, well, healing n stuff like that, ya know? Like, I’m well, all for like, well, social justice n stuff, right?

    2. Yes, you could very well have a valid point. Also, by not going, if some of the same Jan 6 mob rioters happen to go to the Sept. 18 event, any further crimes they commit will be totally on their shoulders.

    3. @James Irwin Like, ya know, like imperialist stuff, like I think like… Well, imperialist stuff like, in history? ‘Cause, like well, oppression n stuff like that? I think that we should like, focus on like well, injustice, ’cause like, well, colonialist or well, like healthcare and like stuff like social justice like stuff? Ya know, like fascist n stuff? ‘Cause like, there’s so much like, disparity ‘n like, well, stuff like well, stuff that’s unfair, ya know? Like, we should be focused on like, well, healing n stuff like that, ya know? Like, I’m well, all for like, well, social justice n stuff, right? Well, stuff like math and stuff like history is like, boring? It’s hard too? And well, like social justice is neat and protesting is like real important to like overthrow injustice n stuff like that, sorta like fascism n stuff? Right?

    4. They WANT a civil war. They have been bloviating about it for over a year now on various social media platforms. They want to target who they deem as “lefties” and unleash cruelty on anyone who won’t agree with their ignorance and fascism. If counter protestors showed up en masse, it would be bad. We need to stop legitimizing these people at all costs. Don’t go to counter protest. It won’t fix the situation. It will embolden them more.

  6. “The squeaky wheel gets the oil.” – ascribed to Josh Billings. Is an American proverb. The Sept.18th rally will turn out to be a metaphor for this saying. They will be loud to get attention but they are in the extreme minority. Few Americans feel empathy for these insurrectionists. They are like babies, and no longer Viking “bad boys” they’re 😢 crying because they don’t want to wear ankle bracelets which go off, and are too loud which interfere with business as usual. Some require vegan diets, other’s requests a break for vacations to go to car races and trips to Mexico, they complain about the inhumane living conditions which other’s have endured for years and the GOP hadn’t cared about before. Problem is they have not taken their crimes seriously nor have the court’s. That’s why we are doomed to have another rally. 🙃

    1. Bertha , that was freaking awesome what you wrote ( intelligence and common sense ) if only we had that in our government !!!!!!!!

    1. @Ngocdiep noone said they “hate” police. Just commented that some police do bs stuff all the time. We need to look into it. Period.
      They get fired for abuse of power & their record is made unavailable.
      Other fields our records are there front & center.

      Stop the stupid

    2. @Vicki McCune first. There was one comment. It was Police. Never said (some) police. So your comment is irrelevant. All police are not screwed up. As a Black man. I acknowledge that. I responded to your words. Go back and read what you wrote. You put ALL police in the same category. Vicki what you said was like example. If You were a crack head and killed someone to get crack. Yet! I know no crack heads are the same. You said police, putting them all together. And your attempted insult to me did not work. All I have to do is see is instant insults and I get to know some what of what people are about. I just asked. Why do you hate police? Your comment included all police. That is why I asked.

  7. I really enjoy these “Republicans For Prison Recruitment Rallies.” And if there is ONE THING that Republicans are good at… its RALLIES!
