I’ll be covering the #Trump rally in Warren MI today/tonight. Here are #MIGOP AG candidate Matt DePerno and state party Co-chair Meshawn Maddock chatting out front before things get started.
Here is a more animated shot. Also, Macomb County #GOP Chair (though that remains a matter of contention) Eric Castiglia in left foreground
Also, I selected a random gentleman to interview in line, and it turned out to be Mellissa Carone’s father. Here she is. Dad didn’t want to be quoted.
Couldn’t grab a quick photo but US Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia just strolled through the center where #Trump will speak.
Ok fixed that. Rep Greene just came over and spoke to media. #TrumpRally
Here’s a short clip from Rep. Greene’s remarks #TrumpRally
Fairly long line of people waiting to get inside on a gorgeous day in Warren, MI. The maximum capacity for today's event at the Macomb County Community College Sports and Expo Center is 6,800, Warren Fire Marshal David Evans told me Friday. #TrumpRally
Of course, no #TrumpRally would be complete w/o My Pillow CEO and election conspiracist Michael Lindell. He told me he hopes Trump announces his intent to run for president again, ahead of the midterms.
U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, addressing the rally, tells the crowd, "Michigan runs in my blood." Her father is from Trenton, MI and her grandfather worked for Great Lakes Steel, she said. #TrumpRally
Taylor Greene gets a fairly loud ovation when she touts her "no" vote on U.S. aid to Ukraine. Her reference to MI Gov Whitmer and her pandemic "lockdowns" brought a brief chant of, "Lock her up." #TrumpRally
