A Patriots rally was held in Batavia on Saturday afternoon.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group, clad in red, white and blue clothing, displaying American flags, Back the Blue flags, Trump flags and clothing, organized at Walmart and held a vehicle parade to City Centre, followed by several speakers, and then a march to the east end of the City and back.

Organizers Daniel Crane and Ann Scalia say the group is about many different people and personalities.

“Freedom loving Americans came together for a day, standing up for the Constitution, which is for every American, doesn’t matter what your race or religion is. We are out here to defend the Constitution. Whether you want medical freedom, or you might have an issue with the mask mandate, or with the Governor. The focus is freedom,” says Crane.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Across from the rally on Main street, three people supporting Black Lives Matter displayed signs and voiced their opposition to supporting Donald Trump, “Pro America , Anti Trump” their signs said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Section updated after receiving video of the conversation between Jennifer and Black Lives Matter Supporters)
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One rally goer named Jennifer spoke with Black Lives Matter supporters about what Trump is doing for the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“He doesn’t speak as eloquent as Barack, forget that, what he is doing for our country and our rights, we have come a long way.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In response, a Black Lives Matter supporter says he has done little to nothing.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the conversation, Jennifer expressed to the Black Lives Matter supporters to forget the party and just listen to what they are really saying. She says she has been writing letters to senators and governors for years about imprisoning black people. They are using us to take control she continued. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jennifer then also expressed her dislike for Trump. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Do I like Donald Trump? No, he’s an idiot, he looks like an idiot and sounds like and idiot, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n


<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I get it, my kids are black, I get that, but we’re being used to divide and hate. We love you, you belong to the same flag.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also at the rally were the Marching Patriots, The Constitutional Coalition, The Rally Patriots and The Watchmen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
