[@bethanyhealy4989]

That's you analogy of maga? Just look at all the educated leftist calling for the extermination of Israel. Because someone is educated means almost nothing. It's the educated that scams the system the most. The left has the scams down very well. Like their "let's help the homeless" by raising the taxes on the poor. Then they keep most of the money for "administration" fees. Yes it takes brains to say you are helping people while helping yourself to our loot.

[@vickimathis9079]

But aerial footage of the event, and The Daily Beast’s reporter on the ground, told a different story. ABC7’s coverage of the event showed a much smaller crowd located in an amphitheater at Crotona Park. While law enforcement told the New York Post that the crowd was between 8,000 and 10,000 people, The Daily Beast had a reporter in attendance, who estimated about 1,000 people were there.

[@merchant_of_kek5697]

It’s called a timeline. There has been no timeline to establish when these videos and photos were taken. Simply put lines were circling the event. It’s hard to distinguish supports and protesters because each “side” were holding American flags.
