Here’s What We Know About The MAGA Rallies Planned In D.C. This Weekend

Several pro-Trump and white nationalist groups are stirring chatter on social media about supposed rallies in D.C. this Saturday in an effort to further Trump’s baseless claims about a stolen election.

From their online promotion, the events are focused on protesting President-elect Joe Biden’s victory, falsely claiming that Trump’s second term was stolen through fraudulent voting. Both Democratic and Republican election officials in dozens of states have found no evidence of voter fraud or other irregularities that influenced the outcome of the election.

It’s unclear how many people will actually turn up in D.C. for Saturday’s rally, given that protests associated with white nationalists have tended to have a limp turnout in the city, dwarfed in size by counter protests. (On Wednesday, a “Stop the Steal” demonstration outside of Fox’s D.C. office drew a crowd of four people, total.) Moreover, the planning for the rallies seems to be haphazardly organized across different online pages — some of which have been taken down by Facebook.
