Proud boys, other groups, rally at FLs Old Capitol to demand release of patriots from Jan. 6 insurrectionDozens of protestors came to the Florida Capitol Saturday to demand release of incarcerated patriots arrested in the Jan. 6 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
Those rallying waved American flags and banners emblazoned with Dont Tread On Me, 76 and We the People. Cars honked as they passed by, some shouting words of support to those at the rally, others shouting terrorists and traitors.
About 100 people rallied on the lawn of the Historic Capitol Museum. They flashed signs at passersby and chanted, Let them go, in reference to people arrested during the Jan. 6 attack.
The insurrection was spurred by a mob of pro-Trump supporters who attempted to stop Congress certification of the 2020 presidential election after former President Donald Trump held a rally blocks from the Capitol. Trump in remarks to the crowd promoted the falsehood that the election was stolen from him.
