Donald Trump backers overwhelmed the Washington Hilton Saturday for the Libertarian National Convention in Washington, D. C.
Not all gathering devout in attendance were pleased with the convention’s present to Trump to speak, which energized the little party ’s usually somewhat weary convention but left group members greatly outnumbered by followers of the leader.
Some guests distributed red kazoos to group people with instructions to halt Trump’s talk during statements the aspiring musicians disagreed with.
The agreement, which blasted 1970s Elvis Presley hits between listeners, lacked the soft organization of the Republican National Convention or Democratic National Convention. However, the convention hall filled by the time the first speech greeted friends, with promoters claiming the sold out celebration was at power.
The crowd regularly broke into chants of ”end the fed ” and waved signs reading “FREE ROSS,” a reference to Ross Ulbricht, creator of the Silk Road website who has been in a federal prison since 2013.
Trump is riding high after a well-received Bronx rally days prior in which 25,000 gathered. But Trump’s anticipated Saturday speech to such a charged crowd with so many members of another political party seems likely to be one of his most memorable.
Yet with so many boisterous Trump supporters in the ballroom, he will have plenty of backup.
