There are a host of reasons for Republican lawmakers to avoid the event — the most glaring of which is that many of them may become subjects in the ongoing House investigation into the Jan. 6 attack. People like Cawthorn and Greene, who either spoke at the pro-Trump gathering ahead of the Capitol attack or reportedly have ties to some of the insurrectionists, could put themselves in legal peril by attending Saturday's rally as the Jan. 6 committee deepens their probe.
“This event is 100% about #JusticeforJ6 and not the election or any candidate,” tweeted organizer Matt Braynard, a former Trump campaign staffer. Braynard and other rally organizers have instructed attendees not to wear “any clothing or have signs supportive of either President Trump or Biden.”
