Former President Donald Trump marked the third anniversary of the Jan. 6, 2021 assault on the U.S. Capitol by casting the migrant surge on the Southern border as the “real” insurrection. Trump was rallying supporters in Iowa just over a week before voting will begin with the state's kickoff caucuses/ He repeated his claim that countries have been emptying jails and mental institutions to fuel a record number of migrant crossings. There is no evidence that is the case. Trump was holding a pair of commit-to-caucus events in Newton in central Iowa and Clinton in the state’s far east just over a week before voting will begin on Jan. 15.
