A group of Republican attorneys general is defending themselves after sending a robocall encouraging people to march on the U.S. Capitol ahead of last week’s violence.
The call obtained by Documented, a corporate watchdog group, was sent by the Rule of Law Defense Fund the day before the violent attack on the Capitol.
“The march to save America is tomorrow in Washington D.C. at the ellipse in president’s park between E St. and Constitution Avenue on the south side of the White House,” the caller said. “We will march to the Capitol building and call on Congress to stop the steal. We are hoping patriots like you will join us to continue to fight to protect the integrity of our elections.”
