House Speaker Nancy Pelosi slammed those who plan on attending the upcoming rally outside the Capitol, accusing them of "coming back to praise the people who were out to kill" during the January 6 riot.

Capitol Police are preparing security ahead of a right-wing protest in Washington, DC, on September 18, according to an internal memo obtained by CNN. Intelligence officials told the Associated Press members of far-right extremist groups like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers are expected to attend the rally.

The rally, dubbed "Justice for J6," aims to support the events of January 6 and demand "justice" for suspected rioters criminally charged in the insurrection. Support for the September event also increased following the unveiling of the identity of Capitol Police officer who shot Trump supporter Ashli Babbitt, CNN reported.

In remarks to reporters on Wednesday morning, Pelosi condemned those who intend on protesting outside the Capitol on September 18.

"And now these people are coming back to praise the people who were out to kill, out to kill members of Congress," Pelosi said.

The House Speaker pledged to keep the integrity of the Capitol "intact" but did not go into specifics of security measures law enforcement will take to protect the building.

A Capitol Police spokesperson told Forbes the USCP is "working with our local, state, and federal partners" in preparation for September 18. The DC Metropolitan Police will have an "increased presence around the city where demonstrations will be taking place," spokesperson Brianna Burch told Forbes.

They erected a gallows, they had batons, tasers, bats and other weapons. Nobody likes talking about how guns were apprehended that day. They had flex cuffs and were looking for specific people that day.

But keep downplaying the seditious traitors that stormed the Capitol that day. Also tell me how BLM did worse when 1) BLM weren’t the sole rioters and looters, they found right wing and non-political rioters and looters that summer, and 2) property damage doesn’t equate to upending democracy.

Our government wouldn't be dumb enough to leave the capital unprotected a second time against domestic terrorists?... right?

From what I've heard this is shaping up to be a "Justice for Ashli Babbitt" event. Imagine attempting a coup and then trying to rebrand it when one of your LARPers both fucks around and finds out.

I truly hope this doesn't escalate into another January 6th event. This country is divided enough as it is.
