Thirty minutes in and the Trump “Freedom Rally” in Beverly Hills has attracted its largest crowd to date, by my estimation.

I’ll be covering the rally here, so follow for updates.
A definite paucity of masks, even after the country registers its highest one day tally in COVID-19 cases
Confederate flag hanging under one of the many tents here
There’s a Vietnamese Americans Vote Trump plane flying above the crowd
Dr. Simone Gold, who appeared in a viral video that was later banned from social media platforms for misinfo, encourages attendees to disregard mask requirements “to the extent that you can.”

Beverly Hills has a mask ordinance in effect, though it has never enforced it here.
Lots of talk of Hunter Biden’s laptop, including this group holding a “BLM” sign
Two men hold up copies of the New York Post with reports on Hunter Biden
A kind man handing out free hot dogs. He doesn’t wear gloves and no one wears masks.
A Trump supporter tells a counter-protester, “If you don’t like it, leave.”

She responds, “I’m indigenous.”
That same counter protester also gets told by a Black Trump supporter to leave if she doesn’t like it here.

Spoke with a BHPD officer. Early head count puts the rally over 1,000, well above the previous marker of 400 for the Walk Away rally.
