GUILFORD — More than 250 vehicles festooned with Trump flags and signs gathered at the commuter lot in Guilford Saturday before the Back the Blue and Trump Car Parade began at 11 a.m.
Cars kept pouring into the lot at 10:30, with the overflow going into the second commuter lot across the street.
Vendors offered flags, shirts, stickers and more, with an eager crowd growing.
One organizer told the group assembled via bullhorn, “Today we’re going to show the Shoreline the Republican Party is alive ... (in) Connecticut and that Donald Trump will be president for four more years.”
On the current political climate, “It’s unfortunate that people judge other people based on who they vote for,”said Diane Zorich of Madison, one of the organizers. “When we have Trump or Back the Blue events there’s strength in numbers.”
One pedestrian illustrated Zorich’s point, yelling “Nazi scum” as the caravan passed through the town center.
People could be heard yelling slogans — “God Bless America” and the president’s name from the caravan, “Black Lives Matter” from a crowd of protesters on the Green — but there was no direct interaction.
The event comes the day after Republican President Donald Trump was taken to Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda. Md., after he and wife Melania announced they had tested positive for COVID-19.
In a late Friday letter, Navy Cmdr. Dr. Sean Conley reported that Trump had been treated at the hospital with remdesivir, an antiviral medication, after taking another experimental drug at the White House. He added that Trump is “doing very well” and is “not requiring any supplemental oxygen.”
The White House said Trump was expected to stay at the hospital for “a few days” out of an abundance of caution and that he would continue to work from the hospital’s presidential suite, which is equipped to allow him to keep up his official duties.
