By 2 p.m. Tursday, hundreds of people were gathered in Freedom Plaza, listening to speakers who repeated falsehoods about the election, offered prayers and shared discount codes for MyPillow, a company owned by a Trump ally. Some donned flack jackets with walkie talkies and camouflage fanny packs strapped around their waists.
D.C. Police, U.S. Park Police and Secret Service lingered nearby.
Those at the microphone praised the lack of masks in the mostly White crowds, saying the demonstrators were exercising their personal freedoms.
Masks are required outdoors in the District, but police are not enforcing the mandate this weekend, even as a winter surge of coronavirus worsens.
