Republican presidential candidate and former U.S. President Donald Trump salutes during the national anthem at a campaign rally in Houston, Texas., U.S. November 2, 2023. REUTERS/Callaghan O'Hare Acquire Licensing RightsNov 3 (Reuters) - Former President Donald Trump on Thursday referred to people imprisoned for the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol as "hostages," during a campaign rally, his latest move to embrace his supporters involved in the riot. At the beginning of the event, Trump stood saluting as a song by men who were incarcerated for their role in the attack was played. It features Trump reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and the imprisoned men singing "The Star-Spangled Banner," the national anthem of the United States. Trump has promoted the song before, but his use of the word "hostage" marks his latest effort to portray people involved in the attack as martyrs.

☆ Fact Check: Article fabricates claim that NFL coaches banned ‘anthem kneeling’

Coaches in the U.S. National Football League (NFL) have not voted to ban the practice of players kneeling during the national anthem, as claimed in an online article that uses fabricated quotes and sources. “NFL Coaches Vote Unanimously to Permanently Ban Anthem Kneeling: “It Stops Now,”” reads one of the Facebook posts sharing the headline without any context about its origin. We make no claim that the information presented in these articles is true or accurate.”No credible reports were found saying that NFL coaches had conducted the purported vote in 2023. The decision was challenged by the players’ union, and later relaxed in 2020 when the league commissioner publicly apologized for not previously heeding NFL players’ concerns and encouraged “all to speak out and peacefully protest.”VERDICTFalse. NFL coaches did not vote or decide in 2023 to ban players from kneeling during the pre-game national anthem.

Doug Burgum of North Dakota mingled with families who were digging into eggs, sausage and pancakes at a Fourth of July breakfast hosted by the local Rotary Club. Nelson Disco, 88, one of the prospective voters in the small crowd, had a couple of questions for him. “You’ve got some competition,” Mr. Disco exclaimed, as the North Dakota governor told him he was seeking the Republican nomination for president. But Mr. Burgum was undeterred: “Feeling great” about the race, he said.

☆ Far-Right Pushes a Through-the-Looking-Glass Narrative on Jan. 6

Six months since the House committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, assault on the Capitol completed its work, a far-right ecosystem of true believers has embraced “J6” as the animating force of their lives. They attend the criminal trials of the more prominent rioters charged in the attack. They gather to pray and sing “The Star-Spangled Banner” on the outer perimeter of the District of Columbia jail, where some two dozen defendants are held. Last week, dozens showed up at an unofficial House hearing convened by a handful of Republican lawmakers to challenge “the fake narrative that an insurrection had occurred on Jan. 6,” as set forth by Jeffrey Clark, a witness at the hearing and a former Justice Department official who worked to undo the results of the 2020 election. The 90-minute event was a through-the-looking-glass alternative to the damning case against former President Donald J. Trump presented last year by the Jan. 6 committee.
