WASHINGTON (AP) – Fervent supporters of President Donald Trump piled up Saturday in Washington behind their fake stolen elections and invaded his caravan as he veered into a vehicle as he left town.
“I just need to keep my spirits up and let him know we’re him,” said a loyal, Anthony Whittaker of Winchester, Virginia, outside the Supreme Court, where a few thousand more people piled up after a march down Pennsylvania Avenue from Freedom Plaza near the White House.
A week after democrat Joe Biden’s start to the presidential race, his fury at the prospect of an executive force movement showed no signs of slowdown, inspired by a relentless president who claimed he had won an election he actually had. Lost.
Trump persists even though a broad coalition of senior government and industry officials said the November 3 vote and the next recount were conducted with nothing but the same small setback: “the safest in U. S. history,” they said, repudiating their efforts to undermine the integrity of the contest.
The crowd began meeting in the morning when cheers were heard as Trump’s limousine approached Freedom Plaza. People covered both sides of the street. Some were a few feet from Trump’s vehicle; others showed their enthusiasm running with the caravan.
They chanted “USA, USA. ” and “another 4 years,” and many carried American flags and posters to show their displeasure with the vote count. After making the small detour for the slow walk around the place, the procession headed to the president’s golf course. club in Virginia.
Speakers included a newly elected Georgia Republican in the U. S. House of Representatives. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has expressed racist perspectives and in favor of QAnon’s conspiracy theories, suggested others march peacefully to the Supreme Court.
Among the protesters were members of Proud Boys, a neo-phascist known for his street fights with ideological warfare parties in political rallies.
The march was largely peaceful, with some tension in the margins as countermanifestants booed Trump supporters with chants of “Lost!”
The “March of the Million MAGA” has been widely promoted on social media, raising fears that it could provoke a confrontation with anti-Trump protesters, who have been gathering near the White House at Black Lives Matter Plaza for weeks.
In preparation, police have closed large areas of downtown, where many offices have been closed since Election Day. Chris Rodriguez, director of the city’s National Security and Emergency Management Agency, said police have experience in peacekeeping.
The disorders reported through the crusade of Trump and his allies are typical of each and every election: unrest with signatures, secret envelopes and postal marks on ballots by mail, as well as the option of a small number of erroneous or lost ballots. at wide margins in key states on the battlefield, none of these unrest would have an effect on the final results of the election.
Trump’s crusade also filed legal lawsuits complaining that observers on his ballot were unable to review the voting process. Many of these lawsuit situations were rejected by the judges, some within hours of filing.
A former management official, Sebastian Gorka, hosted the crowd outside the gates of the Supreme Court saying, “We can win because he won. “But, he added, “it’s going to be hard. “
