6. The Republican Attorneys General Association, through its policy arm the Rule of Law Defense Fund (RLDF), sent a robo-call urging "patriots" to congregate at the White House and then "march to Congress" to "stop the steal." https://popular.info/p/after-riot-major-corporations-suspend
7. RAGA also played a key role in setting the predicate for what devolved into a violent riot. Starting weeks before the election, the organization pushed conspiracy theories suggesting Democrats were conspiring to "steal" the election.
