Trump Million MAGA March In Washington DC

Crowds of President Donald Trump’s supporters flocked to Washington, D.C., Saturday for the second time in as many months to show their opposition to the results of the presidential election.

Rallying around chants of "we want Trump" and "four more years," protesters listened to speakers including former national security advisor Michael Flynn and conspiracy theorist and Infowars host Alex Jones.

Backers of President Trump descended on Washington, D.C. Saturday in another sign of support for the president, who has come up short in his efforts to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Supporters with Trump flags and hats gathered at Freedom Plaza near the White House chanting "Four More Years" and "Stop the Steal" to urge Trump to keep on fighting to stay in the White House. Organizers of the Women for America First rally were expecting 15,000 participants for the rally and march to the Supreme Court.

One speaker at the rally was retired Gen. Michael Flynn, Trump's former national security adviser, who told the crowd he was confident Trump would remain in office.

"When people ask me...on a scale of one to 10, who's going to be the next president of the United States? I say: 10, Donald J. Trump ... without hesitation."

Trump last month granted a pardon to Flynn, who pleaded guilty in 2017 to lying to the FBI about his contact with a Russian ambassador, but later claimed innocence.

"The fraud that is being perpetrated on the United States of America through this previous election is outrageous," Flynn told the rally crowd near the White House. "It's outrageous. We will not accept it."

Trump appeared to be pleasantly surprised by another show of support in the Democratic stronghold of D.C.

"Wow! Thousands of people forming in Washington (D.C.) for Stop the Steal," Trump tweeted Saturday morning. "Didn’t know about this, but I’ll be seeing them! #MAGA"

Trump supporters made clear they will continue to fight back regardless of the media and court rulings and will not accept Biden as president.

"In 2016, they had this thing called the resistance, do you remember that?" Pearson said of the left's movement against Trump. "You haven't seen a resistance until patriots show up to defend the republic."

A second pro-Trump rally was set for the Sylvan Theater on the National Mall, where organizers planned for 500 people, according to their national park permit.

Meanwhile, the "Refuse Fascism" anti-Trump group scheduled a counter-protest in Black Lives Matter Plaza at noon, with the message: "Trump: You Lost. Get the Hell Out!"

The rallies come a day after a major legal defeat for Trump, when the Supreme Court Friday declined to hear a Texas case that challenged the election results in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia and Wisconsin.

Trump has repeatedly alleged he beat President-elect Joe Biden, and claims there was widespread voter fraud. But states have stood by their results and courts have repeatedly rejected Trump's legal claims that Biden's victory -- by a margin of more than 7 million votes nationwide -- should be tossed out.
