The Justice for J6 Rally in Washington, DC was a throng of professional and freelance photographers feasting on the spectacle of a promised pro-Trump riot that didn’t deliver the circus everyone had hoped for. Instead of starting with a bang, it ended with a lip-quivering whimper before it even began. The overall themes of the rally were foggy mixed messages of “pray for our troops” and “support our police” while organizers condemned them for the imagined crimes of post-January 6 political persecution in the same sentence. It was an overwhelming embarrassment akin to loaning your laptop to your grandmother and forgetting to delete your sordid browser history. This is a selection of images I shot at that event.
