Fox News National Correspondent Griff Jenkins remarked on how sparse the turnout was at the federal courthouse as former President Donald Trump made his way to Washington, D.C. for his arraignment on four federal charges related to Jan. 6.
“Now, out here, obviously, security is tight,” Jenkins said from the courthouse. “U.S. Marshals have the entire courthouse fenced off. We are seeing a lot of media, as you might imagine. Interestingly, though, only a handful of supporters, some pro-Trump, some anti-Trump, but it is a much more subdued scenario than what we saw when we were in Miami in June when Trump was arraigned on the alleged mishandling of classified documents. Although, we have a few more hours as things get near to that court appearance.”

It's weird that there wasn't a lot of support in DC considering that NYC and Miami are also leftist cities.
It kinda reflects the jury pool in DC - very few Trump supporters.
Maybe they didn’t want to be J6’d…
I would assume that most Trump supporters do not trust the deep state and do not want their pictures taken.
That is an outright lie. Hundreds should up.
“It’s weird that there wasn’t a lot of support in DC... “
Not only is DC a ‘Rat Urban Utopia, the surrounding Counties are too.
Besides, the DC Jail is apparently full of the MAGA types.
The Deep State fascism has taught dissenters to stifle if they want to retain any residual Personal Freedom.....

Yep, think of the scene in The Godfather where the feds are getting all the license plate numbers at the wedding
Jan 6, as you said.
Going to DC in support of Trump would be walking into a trap.
That didn’t go well for them.
Yeah. TRUMPED up charges. TRUMPED up crap. TRUMPED up stinking dimocrats. The only way to stop him from being president again is to jail him and cut him off at the knees. Question is, will America care and do anything about it?
If you are going to DC for anything political, you should park in Virginia and take the Metrorail commuter train.The
And leave your cell phone.
“Maybe they didn’t want to be J6’d…”
Or worse.
Good point.
Considering that this very corrupt DOJ rounded up people who were just standing outside of the Capitol building on J 6, I’m not surprised.
They are all in the DC jail...
Most of his supporters work to provide for their families, and they didn’t want to be arrested by the FBI down the road for simply showing up at the site of his arraignment.
“It kinda reflects the jury pool in DC - very few Trump supporters.”
As usual, the article is misleading. The lack of support may be what the liberals wish you to think. But having the area fenced and overseen by US Marshals may be part of it. The fear to openly display your support is what got the thing started on Jan. 6 and those at this one may have been subdued for fear of arrest or taking one up by the ear. But even with being subdued, they still identified who they were supporting, those that came.
Also, conservatives work for a living and may not have been available to attend because they were feeding their families. And this one was being accomplished in the middle of the week so earning money to accomplish the American Dream for honest people means committing yourself to creating funds. Don’t buy into the half truth.

This kind of shallow reporting makes me sick. There are very good reasons Trump supporters wouldn’t attend.
Handful of supporters?
In DC they’d get the key thrown away for insurrection if some tranny came up and slapped them in the face.
