A host of his fringiest supporters will join up to kick off The Donalds classy Cleveland convention.GIDEON RESNICK
A former Nixon adviser, a conspiracy theorist radio host, two African-American singing sisters, a group of bikers and a self-proclaimed Second Amendment advocatewill join forces in Cleveland on July 18 to hold a rally for a former reality television star.
This motley crew is going to assemble for what theyre calling The America First Unity Rally, an opening salvo for what is already going to be the most unconventional Republican National Convention in history.
The event, according to the hosts site, Citizens for Trump, was initially billed as Our Votes Matter, when it first appeared that a brokered convention could prevent Donald Trump from becoming the partys nominee. It was going to be a solidarity gathering of sortsa warning to the Republican establishment about trying to tear the nomination away from their mans stubby fingers.
Citizens for Trump changed the focus and name of the event to America First Unity Rally in anticipation of celebrating Mr. Trumps nomination after it was very clear that he had clinched the GOP mantle from a field of 17 other candidates, the website now declares.
I am very excited to be part of this grassroots demonstration of support for the Donald, longtime Trump ally and former campaign adviser Roger Stone told The Daily Beast in an email. Ours is a peaceful demonstration and an important counter-point to the violence perpetrated by Move-on and BLM crowd. We hope to build a record crowd to make a statement to the country.
