WASHINGTON: Conservative groups alleging without evidence that President-elect Joe Biden stole US elections from Donald Trump plan nationwide protests on Saturday (December 12), including a rally in Washington led by the recently pardoned former national security adviser of Trump.
Organizers of Stop the Steal, which is linked to the pro-Trump raid Roger Stone, and church groups urged supporters to participate in “Jericho Marches” and prayer rallies. These are planned on the National Mall in Washington and in the capitals of Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, Nevada and Arizona, where the Trump campaign has questioned the vote count.
More than 50 federal and state court rulings have confirmed Biden’s victory over President Trump. The United States Supreme Court on Friday rejected a risky lawsuit brought by Texas and backed by Trump that seeks to dismiss the results of voting in four states.
Trump has refused to admit defeat, claiming without proof that he was denied victory through massive fraud.

The Washington rally will begin with marches around the US Capitol, the US Supreme Court and the Department of Justice “with prayers for the walls of corruption and voter fraud to fall,” according to the StopTheSteal.US website.
The plans refer to the biblical miracle of the Battle of Jericho, in which the city walls collapsed after priests and soldiers marched around it.
Retired Army General Mike Flynn, who twice pleaded guilty to lying to the FBI about contacts with the former Russian ambassador, is scheduled to speak from the steps of the high court, his first public speech since Trump pardoned him on November 24. .
Republican political donors and religious figures are expected to attend, including My Pillow CEO Mike Lindell and radio host Eric Metaxas.
An anti-Trump group also called a rally near the White House on Saturday as well, raising the possibility of a repeat of the clashes that occurred on November 14.
