'We Stand America' rally comes to a close

The three-day long fundraising rally billed by the We Stand America organization as a “take action tour” to discuss border security and “election integrity from a Biblical worldview” drew to a close Sunday with a visit to the border wall, where attendees — some of them armed with long guns — sang “Amazing Grace.”

Around 125 people gathered for the caravan to the wall near Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park, which loomed above them in a brief moment of sunshine on an otherwise cloudy day.

The group snaked their way up the uneven dirt singing “Amazing Grace” before listening to remarks by event organizer, Christie Hutcherson.

Among the list of guest speakers were some of former President Donald Trump’s closest advisers, including former National Security Adviser Lt. Gen. Mike Flynn, former Acting CBP Commissioner Mark Morgan, and former ICE Director Tom Homan.

Attendees wishing to hear Flynn speak at a Friday night reception had to fork over $2,500 per person, according to the We Stand America website.

That is one huge rally!

I noticed at the Trump rally the people behind Trump were not even listening to him. About 1/4th applauded when he read of his hate speech. These are the people who are like wrestling fans. They even played a wrestling song when he came on stage. A new poll shows 44% of Republicans still back him.

And Liz Cheney’s donor fund is over flowing.
