The Proud Boys, members of armed right-wing groups, conspiracy theorists and white supremacists have pledged to attend. Trump, meanwhile, has continued to issue calls to supporters to converge on D.C.“JANUARY SIXTH, SEE YOU IN DC!” he tweeted Wednesday. The violations occurred on weekends when large numbers of Proud Boys and other pro-Trump supporters, in town for demonstrations, were in the bar. “Please protect yourselves,” reads a message co-signed by more than half a dozen D.C. protest groups. Earlier this month, city leaders expressed concerns about the continued presence of Proud Boys at D.C. demonstrations.
