Yahoo Autos 'Justice for J6' organizers urge rallygoers not to wear Trump, Biden clothes to DC protest
WASHINGTON – Organizers of a Saturday rally supporting defendants charged in the Capitol riot Jan. 6 are urging participants not to wear clothing or carry signs supporting former President Donald Trump or President Joe Biden.
Matt Braynard, the former Trump campaign staffer who organized the rally, said participants who supported the political figures would be considered infiltrators.
“We request that anybody attending our events not wear any clothing or have signs supportive of either President Trump or Biden,” Braynard said in a tweet. “Anyone not honoring this request will be assumed to be an infiltrator and we will take your picture, find out who you are, and make you famous.”
His message discouraging Trump and Biden gear comes as police and government officials brace for the rally called “Justice for J6,” which is intended to show support people charged in the riot.
The Department of Homeland Security has projected 700 people could attend the rally, which would be much smaller than the event in January. But the violence of the previous incident has left police and government officials bracing for another incident.

More than 600 people have been charged in the riot that left five people dead and 140 police officers injured. The riot led to the second House impeachment of Trump, who was acquitted in the Senate.
