Trump fans urged to ‘come armed’ to Washington, DC, protest three days before Biden’s inauguration by extremists
A PRO-Trump group is urging protesters to attend another march on the Capitol this week – and to "come armed at personal discretion."
In the aftermath of the protests on Capitol Hill on Wednesday, experts are warning that a small minority of Donald Trump-supporting activists are calling for more demonstrations ahead of Joe Biden's inauguration.
And on Saturday evening, a post was added to Parler, a social media site that has often proved to be a favorite of MAGA supporters.
While the majority of Trump supports have condemned last weeks violence in Washington, some extremists are still trying to stir up trouble.
The post urged people to attend a proposed march on Capitol Hill and state capitol buildings on January 17.
A posted is emblazoned with the phrase: "When democracy is destroyed, refuse to be silenced."
It calls for an "armed march on Capitol Hill and all state Capitols."
The poster, added by user Kenneth Brooks, finished by saying: "Don't let their efforts be in vain. Demand freedom. End the corruption. Stand up for liberty."
The attack on the Capitol building on Wednesday led to the deaths of five people and was condemned by political leaders on both sides of the spectrum, including Vice President Mike Pence.
The chaos also led the creators of Facebook and Twitter to ban Trump from using their social media sites, claiming the president could use them to incite more violence.
However, the consequences seem to have done little to dissuade some extremists, as members are still taking to online communities to insist that the fight is not over.
TMZ reports that the day before the storming of the Capitol on Wednesday, other far right extremists were also making calls to arms.
A rebellion took place inside a government building in rural northern California, by protestors.
Timothy Fairfield, 44, of Shingletown, asked the supervisors: "When Joe Biden’s long winter sets and the dark night comes in this country, do you think you’re going to get to see the dawn?”
“No, you will not. Flee now while you can. Because the days of your tyranny are drawing to a close, and the legitimacy of this government is waning.
"When the ballot box is gone, there is only the cartridge box. You have made bullets expensive. But luckily for you, ropes are reusable."
A minority of Trump supporters have pledged on sites like Parler to show up on Inauguration Day to again attack the nation's Capitol.
"Many of us will return on January 19, 2021 carrying Our weapons," wrote a Parler user who goes by the handle Colonel007.
"We will come in numbers that no standing army or police agency can match."
