The events have been promoted by far-right media personalities, white nationalists and conspiracy theorists, several of whom announced plans to attend. Counter-demonstrations organized by anti-fascist and anti-racist groups are being planned nearby.
The rallies, which include a Women for Trump event, a ‘Million MAGA March’ and a ‘Stop the Steal’ rally, falsely claiming that electoral fraud cost Trump the election, will begin Saturday morning at Freedom Plaza and its surroundings.
Pro-Trump rallies have won the support of Fox News anchor Sean Hannity as well as more fringe figures, including Enrique Tarrio, president of the Proud Boys; self-described ‘American nationalist’ and social media agitator Nicholas Fuentes; conservative provocateur Jack Posobiec, who promoted the ‘Pizzagate’ conspiracy theory related to the 2016 shooting at DC’s Comet Ping Pong pizzeria; Scott presler, a pro-Trump activist who works with the anti-Muslim group ACT for America; and the founder and conspiracy theorist of Infowars Alex Jones.
