Nov 3 (Reuters) - Former President Donald Trump on Thursday referred to people imprisoned for the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol as "hostages," during a campaign rally, his latest move to embrace his supporters involved in the riot.
"I call them the 'J-6 hostages,' not prisoners. I call them the hostages, what’s happened. And it’s a shame," Trump said at the rally in Houston.
At the beginning of the event, Trump stood saluting as a song by men who were incarcerated for their role in the attack was played. Trump himself collaborated in making the song by the "J6 Prison Choir."
