As President Trump has been silenced on social media platforms and following the riots at the Capitol in Washington D.C. on Wednesday, a far-left group, “Refuse Fascism DC,” is seizing on the situation to hold a rally and demand that he leave office.
Refuse Fascism is a group of Antifa who are organized on a national level and their D.C. chapter is one branch.
The national outlet released a tweet yesterday where they asked, “Will decent people make clear our determination & act to stop this fascist danger?”
They added, “A united, public show of revulsion against Trump & repudiation of his regime’s fascist program – thru non-violent, sustained protest & resistance – has been overdue for years. #25thAmendmentNow“
The D.C. chapter retweeted that tweet and said, “DC BLM Plaza Rally and Press Conference Sat. Jan 9 at 2:30 pm Join us and let your voice be heard. It is past time that people act in the interest of humanity to stop the fascist regime!”
