Christina Baal-Owens, executive director of Public Wise, a voting rights organization that has worked to prevent 6 January rioters from being elected to office, said more and more rioters were using their public profiles to boost their political aspirations, especially in the lead-up to the 2024 elections.

“The far-right and January 6 rioters are trying to flip the narrative and make themselves martyrs,” she said.
