Many of those in attendance are supporters of President Donald Trump and Republicans running in local races.
“Because I’m a conservative and I love America and I love my state California and we’re gonna take California back whether anybody likes it or not,” one demonstrator said.
This rally is the second in a nationwide kickoff of rallies from coast to coast planned through the end of this year. Future cities include Los Angeles, Miami, Atlanta, Nashville, and many more to come.
