Misbar’s Analysis

The Misbar team has discovered that - while some supporters of President Donald Trump plan to protest in Washington on Jan. 6, 2020 – the photo appears to be from October, when a Twitter user posted about a parade in Long Island, New York.

Since the image being circulated is dated to a Twitter post from October 2020, we rate the claim as false.
