Before the swearing-in of Joe Biden as President of the United States, the United States became heated over the attack on the Capitol Building. The highway takes on the appearance of a battlefield. Five people were killed in the clash between the mob and the police. One of them was a policeman.
It was alleged that the rioters who attacked the Capitol Building were all Trump supporters. The procession was funded by Julie Jenkins Fancelli, a Trump-affiliated businessperson and heiress to the Public Supermarket chain.
The report was published by The Wall Street Journal on Saturday. According to their report, the procession that attacked the US Capitol last month cost a total of $500,000. The lion’s share of this money, i.e. $300,000 was given by Julie Jenkins Fancelli. At a rally in Ellipse Park, Trump appealed to his supporters to fight.
The clash of the riot happened just after the rally in Ellipse Park. According to the report, Julie has also spent a lot of money on Trump’s campaign in 2020. It was learned that he gave this money through a radio jockey named Alex Jones. The Police arrested more than 135 assailants after January 6, 2021, an attack on the Capitol building that killed five people and damaged many properties.

According to The Wall Street Journal, Alex Jones himself donated more than $50,000 to the procession. He was accused of fueling the clashes. The attack was carried out by members of two extremist groups, Proud Boys and Oath Keepers. Jones has spoken to their leader several times on his own radio show. Therefore, it has been alleged that he was directly involved in this conflict.
Neither Jones nor Julie has commented on the allegations. Publix Supermarket stated, “Julie has no contact with us. Julie is no longer in our business, or as a company representative. So we will not comment on any of her work.”
But, whatever be the reaction of the Trump supporters in distributing money, the incident had been marked as an attack on the Constitution, the electoral system, and the democratic process of America. It is a shameful act on behalf of the President overseeing a campaign to overturn a free election and invigorating rioters to overpower the democratic process of America. Donald Trump was negatively marked in the incident as the Publix Heiress Pro-Trump Rally at Capitol creating an absolute riot.
