Donald Trump provokes riots at rally - and dangerously played videos of Jan 6 insurrection

Former US president Donald Trump held the first rally of his 2024 presidential campaign in Waco, Texas, on Saturday, during which he played clips of the January 6 insurrection at the US Capitol.

In 1993, Waco was the scene of a 51-day standoff and deadly siege between US law enforcement and the Branch Davidians, which resulted in the deaths of more than 80 members of the religious cult and four federal agents. It has become a touchstone for far-right extremists and militia groups.

Trump opened his rally by playing a song, 'Justice for All', that featured a choir of men imprisoned for their role in the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the US Capitol singing the national anthem, and then a recording of Trump reciting the Pledge of Allegiance.
