DNC follows Trump with mobile billboard about the January 6 attack during his visit to the Capitol

When Donald Trump travels to Washington on Thursday to meet with lawmakers near the Capitol, he will be greeted with a video showing a mob of his supporters rioting there on January 6, 2021.

The Democratic National Committee plans to set up a mobile billboard ahead of Trump’s visit to accompany the former president on his travels between meetings with Republicans in the House and Senate.

The billboard plays an 11-minute video montage of the riot and Trump’s speech before it on a loop. The video was released by the House investigative committee that investigated the attack.

Four Republican senators who voted to convict Trump of incitement of insurrection in the subsequent impeachment trial told NBC News they would not attend the meeting with Trump because of “conflicts.”

DNC spokesman Alex Floyd said: “Donald Trump is on Capitol Hill for the first time since the American people watched him call on his supporters to storm the Capitol and launch a violent insurrection to overthrow our democracy. Trump has only exacerbated his dangerous record since then.”

In recent weeks, Trump has been even bolder in his support of the January 6 rioters, including the more than 1,000 people who have already been convicted in connection with the attack.

At a rally in Las Vegas on Saturday, Trump referred to the participants in the riots as “warriors” for the first time.

“These J6 warriors were warriors, but in reality, more than anything, they were victims of what happened. They were simply protesting a rigged election,” Trump said, continuing to claim without evidence that the 2020 election was marred by fraud.

In the years since the attack, he has referred to the defendants who took part in the riots as “hostages” and “patriots” and said he would “absolutely” consider pardoning those convicted. Trump released and sold a song written in collaboration with imprisoned rioters, “Justice for All,” which he still regularly plays at his rallies.

President Joe Biden’s campaign team accuses Trump of making the January 6 attacks a “cornerstone of his election campaign,” reflecting a “penchant for political violence and anti-democratic principles.”

The Biden team is now using the police officers present at the attack as proxies to keep Trump’s alleged role in inciting the attack in the minds of voters.

Last month, former U.S. Capitol Police Sergeant Aquilino Gonell, former Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn and Washington Police Officer Daniel “Danny” Hodges began campaigning for Biden in six swing states, including Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

“Donald Trump is the greatest threat to our democracy and the safety of communities across the country today,” Dunn said in Pittsburgh last week. “He has encouraged and continues to encourage political violence. He welcomes it. He supports it. My colleagues and I witnessed this kind of violence on January 6th at the hands of a mob of MAGA extremists.”

In addition to a video montage of the attack, the DNC plans to air a new ad focusing on controversial comments made by Trump about the attack and his recent conviction for white collar fraud in New York. This ad will follow Trump in a private meeting with members of the Business Roundtable, an influential business lobbying group in Washington.
