Thousands of citizens gathered in Washington DC November 14th to protest during the Million MAGA March, a march planned to show support for President Trump as part of the #StopTheSteal movement.
“Stop the Steal” began as an internet hashtag and has quickly gained steam in cities across the United States as citizens took to the streets to express their distrust in the 2020 Election results. Many supporters of “#StoptheSteal” that I’ve spoken with have cited rumors of mail-in voting fraud, voting tabulation fraud, and more when sharing their stories.
“He’s not a politician,” another attendee said. “He loves this country. Why else would he do this? He’s a millionaire, he doesn’t need to do this.”
Thousands of supporters poured down Pennsylvania Avenue as the crowd marched from Freedom Plaza to the Supreme Court and back Saturday afternoon, with some of the crowd gathering across the street from the Capitol to hear additional speakers.
“We’re out here on a Saturday because Sunday we’re going to be at church,” one speaker called out. “And on Monday, we’re going to be at work.”
Cheers, applause, and shouts rang out from across the growing crowd, which spilled off the street and into the grassy knoll in between the Capitol building and the Supreme Court. The mood was positive and strong, with many supporters telling me that they believed the Supreme Court will rule in favor of President Trump in lawsuits his campaign had filed in states across the country.
“Jobs and the economy, he did what he said he was going to do in four years,” one attendee told me, when asked why he voted for President Trump. “I want him to continue doing what he did. He stood by us and we will stand by him.”
