WASHINGTON -- Former Rep. Dana Rohrabacher admitted to participating in pro-Trump rallies on Jan. 6 that preceded the deadly ransacking of the U.S. Capitol.
The longtime GOP congressman and passionate Kremlin apologist confirmed he participated in pro-Trump protests -- but did not commit any violent acts -- after an anonymous crowdsourced Twitter account published photos of him at the rally.
"I marched to protest, and I thought the election was fraudulent and it should be investigated, and I wanted to express that and be supportive of that demand," Rohrabacher told the Portland (Maine) Press Herald. "But I was not there to make a scene and do things that were unacceptable for anyone to do."

"... [P]articipating in pro-Trump rallies on Jan. 6 ..." and no more beyond that is a Constitutionally-protected activity.

(5,586 posts)If he didn't go in the capital, then he did nothing wrong. Feel free to think of him as a idiot, but unless he did something to break the law, then he shouldn't be arrested.
