Trump supporters rallied against alleged voter fraud and in support of Trump’s refusal to concede in Beverly Hills on November 14.
The rally at Beverly Gardens Park was organized by Shiva Bagheri, with a main focus on the election results, which President Trump claims is due to voter fraud and corruption in the election.
Trump supporter Pamela Reese from Long Beach arrived at the rally to express her concerns about the election fraud and said she would accept the results if the election was done fair and square.
“I truly believe that if Biden won fair and square, I’ll accept that, but there are many things that make me wonder if it was clear that Trump had a lead, and they just stopped counting and has never happened in the history of voting,” Reese said.
Trump supporters argued with a few Biden supporters and people passing by during the rally, but the conflict did not escalate.
Protester Kyle Cline said he believed that more transparency with the vote counting was needed.
“We believe there is a lot of fraud in a lot of places, and it’s a shame what’s happening right now in our country and it goes back to anybody that works on the vote being counted making sure it’s legal, and there should be no fraud at any level,” Cline said.
Another Trump supporter, Adrina Mekertichian, said she believed that Trump is a caring president and that the election was rigged.
“I believe they have rigged and stolen the election using the intelligence apparatus to destroy the whole country as a weapon,” Mekertichian said.
“I believe if the courts do their job and they do right by the constitution, there’s no reason why he shouldn’t. He won the election, we were all watching those numbers go up as they stopped,” she said.
Mekertichian also said that Trump was only defamed by the media, and that the public was always trying to tarnish his image. She said she admires Trump for his confidence and straightforward attitude.
“He’s taking on the war machine itself and it’s dangerous. I take my hat off to him because he’s a great president and being able to tackle that all at the same time,” Mekertichian said.
Autumn Schnell is also a Trump supporter who shares the same opinions as Mekertichian.
Schnell said she believes that Trump cares about America, and is doing what presidents are supposed to do. She was at the rally to support the president.
“I think he’s doing a good job. No president can fix all problems of the country. I think we have a great history in general of having wonderful presidents. I think America sets a good example,” Schnell said.
