Christopher Miller told the House Oversight and Reform Committee that he held a meeting with Trump on January 3, three days before the violent siege in Washington, DC. Miller said that Trump asked at the meeting if there had been any requests for National Guard support at the "Stop the Steal" rally on January 6, where Trump and his supporters would gather to make allegations of voter fraud in November's presidential election.
He said that Trump then ordered Miller to fulfill Bowser's request and told him to "do whatever was necessary to protect the demonstrators that were executing their constitutionally protected rights."

Yeah it was safe to assume that counter-protestors were going to show up and start some shit
Have you seen the insane brawls that broke out in Portland between Proud Boys and Antifa? Not sure if they are still up on YouTube but I saw some huge clashes with homemade weapons that look straight medieval. At work atm so can’t check now
I was telling my conservative and liberal friends that it was going to be a war. I would personally never be at such a scene. Politics is not worth it. But surprisingly, very few counter protestors showed up in this incident. But that’s definitely NOT how previous right-wing protests have gone. I’m sure you would agree that liberals outnumber conservatives AND even, liberals willing to fight over their politics still probably outnumber conservatives
