I was at the rally yesterday.
The back story is that I've been in contact with some of the whistleblowers, and I've been researching the fraud.
I believe last night at the Capitol was our fire in the Reichstag.
I attended the StopTheSteal rally in Washington DC yesterday. It was completely peaceful.
My colleague Mark and I stood in the cold for hours with a vast, diverse group of people whose hallmark was courtesy. This was a peaceful crowd. The energy was solemn—we were aware of and upset about the duplication of fraud in the GA runoff—but everyone was respectful. It was comprised of people from all over the country, people of all races and economic standings. It was the most diverse group I’ve ever seen. We stood near a sizable contingent of Vietnamese-Americans for Trump. There were Jews for Trump, Gays for Trump, Women for Trump, Latinos for Trump, Blacks for Trump, Polish people for Trump. There was even a Drag Queen for Trump. (We have photographic evidence of all of these groups.)
The president spoke for over an hour. He gave a clear and understandable recitation of some of the fraud in the November election. Some of it I already knew: I have been speaking with the whistleblowers. Some of it was new information.
At the end, the president directed us all to walk down Pennsylvania avenue to the Capitol, where he hoped that Mike Pence would do the right thing.
Mark and I, and our two friends, were fascinated by the procession of thousands of people down Pennsylvania and Constitution. We took photos and videos. There were people dancing to “YMCA” on the side of the road. There was a jazz guitarist rocking out with our national anthem.
It was peaceful.
We heard rumors at about this time, 2:00ish, that the media was calling the rally a “violent protest.” Mark and I actually smiled at that. “Oh that’s the media. Ginning things up to make Trump supporters look bad."
When we arrived at the Capitol, the energy changed. People with bullhorns stood atop statues, screaming at the rally participants—trying to rile them up.
It was the first we’d seen of this, and it took us aback.
Our two friends left for the train station. Mark and I proceeded up onto the lawn of the Capitol building, following a general flow of people. The police were letting people through barricades, there was no security stopping us. We continued up alongside the building. I saw people on the parapet of the building. Mark could see people screaming into windows. He realized, before I did, that these were not the same people with whom we’d stood shoulder to shoulder on the mall for four hours.
It was about 2:55 and we were winding our way up into the building. Perhaps we were 30-40 yards away from the entrance. People were being let in. Then I received a phone call. Our friend who had left said, “The National Guard is coming. They’ve been authorized to shoot. Time to get out.”
So we turned left and walked toward Union station. A minute later, our friend called again: “There’s tear gas. Get out!”
But we were already on our way off the lawn and toward the train station. We heard sirens but could not see what was erupting at the Capitol.
From the subway out to Shady Grove, we read and heard reports of the storming.
Mark and I looked at each other. We said, “Those weren’t the people we stood with in the field. Those weren’t Trump supporters.”
I believe that the first people into the Capitol, at least, those who committed the violence, were paid agitators. Yes, there were Trump supporters mixed in. People were being let in by the police. Mark’s friend Pat was inside the building. Pat posted a video recounting his experiences, of how people were being let in and were walking around peacefully. Then Pat heard a gunshot. Here is Pat’s video:

Pat believes that the peaceful energy of the rally was hijacked. He saw Antifa around. WATCH HIS VIDEO BEFORE IT IS REMOVED.
Early in the morning, Mark and I stood outside the Shady Grove metro station. Two young guys decked out in MAGA gear walked past. Now, we had seen many red-hat wearing people entering the station. The thing about MAGA people is that they’re very nice. They meet your eyes, they nod, they say, “How are ya?”
But these two guys avoided my gaze. So I kept watching them. So did Mark. From the back, we could see that the two guys were carrying baseball bats under their armpits, close to their bodies. We said to each other, “Not Trump supporters.”
So I can attest to the presence of people dressed up as Trump supporters who were not Trump supporters.
What concerns me most is that this sad event removes public scrutiny and public pressure about the fraud. All the swing states have expressed concern about the fraud.
Mark posted on Instragram TV his retelling: https://www.instagram.com/tv/CJukhMMDQD_/?igshid=dcrsmikoq6ml WATCH BEFORE IT IS REMOVED.
Mark works for us in my husband's studio. He is also an actor. His agent saw the video and called. She said she could no longer be associated with him. She dropped him.
My daughter has spent the morning hearing from her school that EVERYONE at the rally was a white supremacist.
This is especially upsetting for me as I am part Cherokee and 1/4 Jewish.
I have been warned by a friend with intel connections to be careful what I text and what I say on the phone.
That's all. I don't know what else to say.
