(CNN) The so-called "Justice for J6" rally, a right-wing protest Saturday to support the insurrectionists facing criminal charges in the January 6 attack, was smaller than expected. The rally in Washington, DC, was part of a dangerous attempt to rewrite the history of that dark day in America. "Our hearts and minds are with the people being persecuted so unfairly relating to the January 6th protest concerning the Rigged Presidential Election," Trump said on Thursday. He went on to add, "There's no question, none, that President Trump is practically and morally responsible for provoking the events of the day." Meanwhile, former President Trump continued to distort the facts by falsely claiming that the crowds in Washington that day were peaceful.
