When Donald Trump visits Washington on Thursday to meet with lawmakers near the Capitol, he’ll be greeted with footage of a mob of his supporters rioting there on Jan. 6.
When Donald Trump visits Washington on Thursday to meet with lawmakers near the Capitol, he will be greeted with video of a mob of his supporters rioting there on Jan. 6, 2021.
The Democratic National Committee plans to launch a mobile billboard ahead of Trump’s visit that will aim to follow the former president as he moves between meetings with House and Senate Republicans.
The billboard will play a loop of an 11-minute video montage from the riot and Trump’s speech before it. The video was released by the House committee that investigated the attack.
Four Republican senators who voted to convict Trump during his subsequent impeachment trial on charges of inciting an insurrection told NBC News they will not attend the meeting with Trump because of "conflicts."
DNC spokesperson Alex Floyd said: “Donald Trump is on Capitol Hill for the first time since the American people watched him rally his supporters to storm the Capitol, launching a violent insurrection to overturn our democracy. Trump has only doubled down on his dangerous record since then.”
