Mobile billboard to tout Trump’s involvement in Jan. 6 attack during DC visit

Former President Donald Trump Returns to Capitol Hill Amid DNC’s Mobile Billboard

Former President Donald Trump is scheduled to make his first visit back to Washington D.C. since the January 6, 2021 insurrection to hold meetings with GOP lawmakers. Accompanying him will be the Democratic National Committee (DNC) with a mobile billboard showcasing video footage obtained from the House Select Committee on the January 6 Attack.

Mobile Billboard Details

The mobile billboard will showcase an 11-minute video montage, played continuously, featuring Trump’s speech to his supporters on January 6, as well as footage of rioters storming the U.S. Capitol immediately afterwards. The billboard will trail Trump’s motorcade as he moves between House and Senate buildings for meetings with Republican members of Congress.

Trump’s Controversial Statements

Despite mounting evidence to the contrary, Trump continues to assert the baseless claim that the 2020 election was fraudulent. He also openly expresses support for individuals involved in the violent January 6 riot, referring to them as “warriors” during a recent campaign rally in Las Vegas.

Political Fallout and Response

Former Capitol police officers who defended the Capitol on January 6 are now actively campaigning for President Joe Biden in key battleground states such as Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. They view Trump as a significant threat to democracy due to his continued endorsement of political violence.

Personal Connections

Reports suggest that Trump has been in contact with the mother of Ashli Babbitt, who was fatally shot by a Capitol police officer on January 6. The former president allegedly assured the mother that he would address the situation once back in power.
