Trump Calls Imprisoned Jan. 6 Rioters 'Hostages', Features Their Song at Campaign Event

Trump ignites controversy at Houston rally by dubbing imprisoned Jan. 6 rioters "hostages", playing collaborative song with them "Justice For All", which briefly topped charts earlier in the year and continues to support his claims of a one-sided justice system.

Former President Donald Trump has begun to refer to the Jan. 6 rioters who are now in prison as 'hostages', a term he used repeatedly during his recent campaign event in Houston, causing controversy and stirring debate.
Trump played the song 'Justice For All' at the event, a controversial track he collaborated on with the incarcerated rioters known as the 'J6 Prison Choir', which includes their rendition of the national anthem and his voice saying the pledge of allegiance.
Trump continues to show support for the accused and convicted Jan. 6 rioters, claiming their incarceration further proves a one-sided justice system. This includes considering pardons for the convicted if he is elected again in 2024.
'Justice For All' was released in March and played at Trump's first 2024 campaign rally held in Waco, Texas. It saw brief chart-topping success on various streaming platforms, beating out songs by Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus.
Despite facing federal criminal charges for allegedly attempting to subvert the 2020 election results, Trump continues to campaign for the 2024 presidency, making the treatment of the Jan. 6 rioters a notable element of his rhetoric.
