'Texas is going to be red forever,' GOP leader says in rallying crowd at 'MAGA Meetup' [View all]

GEORGETOWN — Roughly 150 mostly maskless people filled spaced-out seats at the Georgetown Community Center as they eagerly awaited the arrival of Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel during a “MAGA Meetup” put on by the Trump Victory organization Wednesday.

But it was Texas GOP Chairman Allen West who received the earliest ovation of the afternoon when he made a surprise appearance nearly 30 minutes before McDaniel took the stage.

“Why is it so quiet in here?” West asked as the community center started to fill out.

The buzz West created was immediately visible as people formed a line in an attempt to snag a photo with the state’s new GOP Chair.

As the line started to shorten, McDaniel and RNC co-chair Tommy Hicks arrived to a roaring ovation. After a brief introduction, McDaniel quickly went after Democrats in front of a mostly filled room of energetic supporters holding Trump yard signs and “Keep America Great” posters.

“This election exemplifies the choice of the America that we are going to have for our future generations like no other," McDaniel said. Democrats want to fundamentally transform this nation into a nation that we will not recognize.
