After a long wait, pro-Trump protesters at the Supreme Court cheer and chant at the arrival of former national security adviser Michael Flynn, who has called on Trump to declare martial law rather than admit that he was defeated by Joe Biden
Flynn calls this "a crucible moment in our history" and tells people not to be too "bent out of shape" at recent SCOTUS rejection of Texas case, because there are still avenues being pursued.
Flynn says the Supreme Court doesn't decide who will be president, telling people they have to "demand" that state legislatures step up.
Nothing can stop the power of prayer, Flynn tells the pro-Trump activists. Flynn will also be speaking at the "main event" later today.
Flynn will also be speaking at the larger rally taking place later today

Right-wing Orthodox Christians are part of today’s “Let the Church ROAR” rally put on by “Stop the Steal” organizers, Trump administration staffers, and other right-wing activists. George Michalopulos, who blogs at Monomakhos, is listed as a speaker. rightwingwatch.org/post/right-win…
Michalopulos reposted a comment from Roosh V’s Twitter feed calling on Trump to refuse to step down, use the military to “crush his enemies,” and “use his authority under the Insurrection Act to arrest and/or kill everyone who participated in this plot.” monomakhos.com/one-of-the-gre…
“It really says it all, doesn’t it,” Michalopoulos wrote admiringly of the call for Trump to arrest leaders of the Democratic Party and Big Tech and “everyone of significance in the mainstream media.”
Organizers of today’s “Let the Church ROAR” rally include conservatives from different branches of Christianity. One right-wing Catholic set to speak is “traditionalist” Taylor Marshall, an author, YouTuber, and member of the advisory board of Catholics for Trump. (thread)
When a Catholic priest drew criticism for declaring that it was not possible for a Catholic to be a Democrat—as Joe Biden was on his way to become the second Catholic U.S. president—Marshall called the priest a “hero.”
A motley group of religious-right leaders, right-wing activists, and Republican officials are descending on Washington, D.C. Saturday for overlapping and competing events meant to keep Trump in the White House. Here’s a quick guide (thread).
“Let the Church ROAR,” a “prayer rally” on the National Mall, is being promoted by “Stop the Steal” organizer Ali Alexander, Phyllis Schlafly acolyte Ed Martin, and organizers of “Jericho Marches” that have been taking place at state capitols. rightwingwatch.org/post/right-win…
In the morning, “Jericho March” activists will circle the US Capitol, Supreme Court, and Dept of Justice seven times, an allusion to a Bible story about God bringing the walls of Jericho down after the Israelite army marched around the city for seven days jerichomarch.org
Time for a thread about anti-Semitism, the Trump White House, and Christian media
The Christian Broadcasting Network is promoting an interview with Mike Pence in which the VP denounces anti-Semitic rhetoric, which he claims has been heard “in the halls of Congress” and “has not been roundly and universally condemned, as it should be.” www1.cbn.com/cbnnews/politi…
“For people to traffic in anti-Semitic slurs and tropes and not be held to account for that, it’s just not acceptable,” Pence told CBN, calling for "constant vigilance" against the danger "allowing anti-Semitic rhetoric, let alone violence, to take place in our society”
