In addition to the massive enthusiasm for the Trump Administration, the protesters are excited for Constitutional Originalist Judge Amy Coney Barrett to be fully confirmed by the US Senate. Founder and CEO of Asian Industry B2B, and event co-organzier Marc Ang says, “The Asian-American and faith communities came out in full support of this event, as we had representatives from so many groups and the car rallies passed by mostly minority churches along the route who were overwhelmingly ecstatic about seeing this great show of support. They want churches opened and not subject to harassment by governmental agencies like the LA County Department of Health. We are also praying for calm and peace as an historic confirmation takes place this evening.”
Marc Ang’s last event in Walnut, CA, a family fair at a church, was the target of harassment by the LA County Health Department leading up to and at the actual event. This was documented live and heavily covered by ABC, NBC, Telemundo, OC Register and national publications like Breitbart and Epoch Times. Past rallies were covered by Fox News National, CBS, KCRW, Asian Journal and lots of independent media. Other events including one of Asian Industry B2B’s members efforts putting up Hollywood-style Trump signs all over California (some taken down on private property, such as the Getty pass 405 one) have been covered extensively by media as well.
South Bay conservatives are beginning to speak out. South Bay Republican Assembly President Edwin Duterte, organizer of the event who led the caravan,says, “Thousands of Trump supporters drove a 22 mile route in the most liberal districts in California, proving the residents are getting tired of one-party Democratic rule.”
