Hundreds participate in, watch South Carolina boat parade in support of Trump

A boat parade held in support of President Trump in South Carolina over the Memorial Day weekend drew hundreds of boaters and viewers.

According to local CBS-affiliate WCSC, the event, dubbed the “MAGA” boat parade in reference to Trump’s “Make America Great Again” campaign slogan, was held in Charleston harbor on Sunday.

A Facebook page set up for the event said over 700 people indicated plans to attend the parade.

In footage of the event that has emerged online, scores of boaters, many whom were not wearing masks, could be seen sailing with “Trump 2020” flags. One boat had what appeared to be a life-size cut-out of the president.

Some boaters also held signs reading phrases like, “If we followed rules, we’d still be British. Liberty is essential.”
