Swalwell mentioned to CNN’s Jim Acosta:
The police confirmed up in drive, they usually had the presence that they need to have had on January sixth, contemplating what Donald Trump was promising, and I believe that might have been a deterrent. Additionally, maybe Donald Trump’s means to encourage individuals to present up on his behalf may additionally be fading.
However that doesn’t imply we must always let our guard down. I actually really feel, although, Jim, for the law enforcement officials who stood guard there at present, who additionally stood guard on the Capitol, and might have suffered accidents on January sixth. This will need to have been triggering and traumatizing, and this vigil is held at a time when one, these individuals aren’t worthy of a vigil, however two, many officers haven’t but even returned to the capitol from the accidents they suffered. So it might be like having a September eleventh vigil, for the hijackers.
Rep. Swalwell could also be proper. There may be going to be some lessening of Trump’s means to incite. He not has his Twitter platform and the White Home to drive his message. Swalwell was additionally appropriate that we will’t let up. Home terrorists solely have to achieve success as soon as, however the American individuals should be vigilant always.
Trump could also be on the downhill slide, however he and his radicalized supporters signify the most important home terror menace that the nation faces,
