Flag-Waving Trumpers Crash Qasim Rashid for Congress Event. What Happened Next Will Inspire You. [View all]

A quick story…

Today Trump supporters crashed our event.

We held an outdoor campaign event at Aquia Harbor in Stafford, VA, and had a decent crowd of about 30 people. With a large RASHID FOR CONGRESS sign behind me, it wasn’t long before Trump supporters began driving by, honking, and waving their flags.

Soon a few Trump supporters showed up on foot, waving their flags. Perhaps it was an attempt to interrupt or intimidate, or, just to exercise their free speech. After all we respect the First Amendment. In any case, I had a decision to make. Do I ignore them or do I tell them to leave?

I decided neither. Instead, I called them over.
