March 4 Trump rally in Augusta draws more than 100 to State House

Source: Kennebec Journal

AUGUSTA — More than 100 people braved frigid conditions and a subzero wind chill Saturday afternoon to march to and rally at the State House to show their support for President Donald Trump.

The March 4 Trump event was organized as a rally to unite Americans by showing support for our president, according to a news release about the event.

“I just wanted to demonstrate in a physical sense that I support our president and what he stands for,” said John Watkins, of Cundy’s Harbor. “(I like) his total honesty and his pragmatism. I think he sees the country facing some problems and he’s going to do his best to solve them.”

The crowd was filled with men and women both young and old waving American flags, carrying “Trump-Pence” campaign signs and homemade signs offering allegiance to the current administration. There were renditions of “God Bless America” and Trump campaign favorite “God Bless the USA” and a prayer before Sen. Eric Brakey, R-Auburn, addressed the crowd, saying the country’s problems have been caused by Washington, D.C., elites.

Hopefully, those who support a fact-based reality wake up and help end this nightmare!

Eric Brakey is a local Republican idiot. He's looking to make a career as a Republican politician. He's a youngster at just 28 years old. He was talking like he wants to run for US Senate just a couple months ago. So I expect that's what he'll try to do when he turns 30. Funny how he said "the country’s problems have been caused by Washington, D.C., elites". Yeah, like Trump and his crew. They are DC elites now.
