Former President Donald Trump on Monday hinted at a double standard as, unlike the Jan. 6 incident, protester violence at the White House on Saturday got little legacy media attention and there were no arrests, with the former president calling for the freeing of Jan. 6 detainees, whom he called “hostages.”
A pro-Palestinian protest in Washington on Jan. 13 became unruly as activists breached an exterior White House gate and clashed with riot police, with the unrest prompting an evacuation of some staff members from the White House, as people threw bottles and other objects.
