It was not denied, they are looking for an alternative solution to having troops protecting the U.S. Capitol.

"Statistically impossible to have lost the 2020 Election," Trump tweeted on Saturday. "Big protest in DC on January 6th. Be there, will be wild!"

I'm sure there is something behind this lack of organization and response. I'm glad this is happening today because now there will be proper precautions for inauguration day.
This is all happening because Rs didn't have the courage to tell people the truth and to say no to trump. We are watching an event that happens in 3rd world countries.
Here's a picture for you.
We fought a war to make sure this would never happen. What next, a swastika?

This is about the level of critical thinking I would expect from a california liberal who puts she/her/cis-het pronouns in she/her/cis-het's twitter bio. Normal people are done being led by people who pander to losers like she/her/cis-het.

Real question: Have any of trumps businesses ever succeeded? Did they all default on the loans, steal from the contractors and get looted by trump himself?
What about the business that his spawn have been involved with. I know that Ivanka bankrupted her little clothing failure, but what about the others?
Trump is a real estate not seen for many years. He is worth billions of dollars. He rules NYC. He might be the most successful.real estate guy EVER..
LOL! ok.
Peaceful protesters

It's pretty bizarre that protestors have breached the Capital and are wandering around the Senate chambers with apparently absolutely no push back from law enforcement.
Not clear what the police strategy is here beyond "don't escalate" taken to the extreme.
Armed agents of the State drawing guns on mostly peaceful protesters exercising their First Amendment rights in our nation's capital. Shades of Harper's Ferry. Shades of Eliott at Gibraltar.
And there it is. Blood on trump's hands

Republicans are soon to be the 3rd party. Democrats will be the 1st with over 50%. The Trump Party 2nd with 23%. And Republicans with 20%.
More peaceful protesters

When there aren't enough armed personnel they retreat to a space in the building that they can properly secure. The question is why weren't they prepared?
Nice, a confederate flag... makes perfect sense

I wonder what the response would be if BLM broke into a session of congress and tussled with police. Hmmmmm.
Can't find this online anywhere, but it's from my local paper and apparently originated with The Washington Post. The headline is "Trump Backers: Bring Guns to D.C."
Trump's tweet last month pushing baseless fraud claims and promoting the "big protest" on Jan. 6 - "Be there, will be wild!" - has become a rallying cry. It was the top post on TheDonald.win on Tuesday morning, and anonymous commenters saw it as a call to action: "We've got marching orders," the top reply said.
Remember when trump talked about american carnage?
