Some members of Congress have expressed a mix of frustration, fear and outrage at the recent string of Capitol Hill appearances from figures associated with the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, after a sweeping clemency order from President Donald Trump.
Stewart Rhodes, the founder of right-wing anti-government group the Oath Keepers who was convicted on charges related to the attack, was spotted in the Dunkin’ Donuts inside the Longworth House Office Building shortly after he was released from prison because of Trump’s actions.
Enrique Tarrio, the former Proud Boys leader who also went to prison on charges related to the attack, spoke at a press conference last month on Capitol grounds and then was arrested by Capitol Police after an altercation with a counter protester.
