More than 100 President Donald Trump supporters gathered in Clovis for perhaps one last stand.
In a rally dubbed “Stop the Steal! Stand For Trump,” backers of the president prayed and said Trump should be the rightful winner of the presidential election, not Joe Biden. They staged at the Sierra Vista Mall parking lot before caravanning in Clovis and Fresno.
“Our president is in trouble. We know that our election was stolen. We know that there was voter fraud. And we’re here to stand for our president and to say that we know what happened and something has to change.” — Rally organizer Crissy Corpus
Crissy Corpus of Clovis organized the rally.
“Our president is in trouble. We know that our election was stolen. We know that there was voter fraud. And we’re here to stand for our president and to say that we know what happened and something has to change,” Corpus said.
She cites voting machines that “had the back door that allowed for other foreign entities such as China and Iran and Russia to interfere with our election, to switch votes to Biden from Trump. We know that there was voter fraud. We know that there were suitcases of ballots that came out after everybody was told to go home. There’s too many things.”
She trusts attorneys, such as Sidney Powell, Lin Wood and Rudy Giuliani, who have filed multiple lawsuits — almost all of them unsuccessful — challenging the election results.
“I believe them,” Corpus said.
Despite the assertions that Corpus and other protesters GV Wire℠ spoke with, numerous investigations have revealed no evidence of significant or widespread fraud.
She is praying that congress today denies Biden the Electoral College votes.
During a pre-caravan invocation, Pastor Russell Bailey from Clovis Missionary Baptist Church equated the election with “treason.”
“We know this has been called election fraud. But you know, there’s another word, right? Treason. That’s why we’re here. We’re here for our country. We’re here for our children. We’re here for generations,” Bailey said.
Clovis City Councilman Vong Mouanoutoua appeared, chatting with protesters prior to the caravan. He said he was just supporting an event being held in the city.
“It’s happening here in our backyard. Whether it’s for the Housing Authority or whatever the issue is, just to be able to show support that people can rally peacefully and people can come and make their statements peacefully. That’s what this country is about,” Mouanoutoua said.
He does believe Joe Biden was the rightful winner. He believes the election process should move forward.
“If someone has the evidence, show it. If the time has passed, let’s move forward because it’s time to also move forward, because we need it and we need to get together as well,” he said.

He lost because he handled the pandemic poorly. He can’t stop lying, he just makes up “facts” to suit his needs. He probably never read a book in his life, and his incompetence shows when he speaks. He is using you and you are letting him. He would let any of you die in a heartbeat. Fresno/Clovis is so pathetic.

These Trumpers are nothing but sore losers with no evidence. They are treasonous, racist, terrorists that shouldn’t be given the same rights of a regular citizen. They are all traitors to the nation and are all guilty of sedition. Lets mark them and remember them as the traitors they are like we did to the confederates when the lost the Civil War. Never did the Confederate flag make it to the step of the capitol, last night it was waved inside the Capitol Building, this is who they are. The American Flag was removed from the Capitol and was replaced with a Trump flag.
Everyone forgets that Hitler had an attempted coup and failed a few years before he was finally successful. Its happening now. Lets not let it happen again, Trump and these terrorists need to be stopped. Lets make them known to the public as the traitors they are to the nation.
The police aren’t going to do it for us, they are on their side. Their white privilege will continue to let them destroy this country. Just look at the difference in the treatment between how they treated the violent Trump supporters vs the way they treated the BLM protesters. Yes I know that Antifa was causing chaos but what happened during the BLM protests was nothing compared to what happened last night. 52 arrests last night vs over 400 arrests during BLM. 6 flashbangs last night to disburse the crowd vs over 200 rubber bullets shot at BLM protesters.
Lets stand together against these traitors and publicly shame them for what they are. Racist, Terrorist, Traitors.
