Demonstrators clash during Trump rally at Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco
ABC7 News San Francisco ^ | August 30, 2020 | None

Conservative activist group "Walk Away" organized a President Trump flotilla and demonstration.

Anti-Trump demonstrators also showed up.

We saw police officers detain a few people.

Rally organizers blame liberals for violence and vandalism at recent protests.

"We're here to say we do not give you permission to cause damage and destruction. We're taking our country back from the radical left," says Walk Away founder Brandon Straka.

eah! We made the news and the news made up the news

We were well protected by various LEO organizations

The interaction with Antifa was on our return to Golden Gate visitor center

They attempted to attack us as we were exiting and going home

The interaction was brief and our brave LEO’s were all over them like white on rice

In the clip and near the cameraman for most of the shots and he was so nice

There is a part where some are talking to BLM but many us encouraged them to ignore them and they quickly walked off.

Beautiful Day!!!

They did not see the irony of attacking the very people who walked away from their sociopathic party?

OMG, how obtuse can you be.

Thanks for the report!

The BLM/antifa woman interviewed on the video is an ignorant, inarticulate idiot. “We have to stop Trump because he is dangerous.”

How’s that for a compelling, persuasive, and cogent argument? She’s got rocks in her skull.

It’s the California way. Kind of like Hotel California. Or Islam. You try to leave and we will kill you.

Now California wants people who flee the state to keep paying CA taxes.

Taking the fight to the enemy heartland is extremely courageous. And their opponents are not liberals, not in the Jeffersonian sense, nor even in the FDR/LBJ sense. They are Communists, in the pay of Red China and leftist billionaire like Soros and the tech giants.

Well, it was a great day.

That was 3rd Trump rally in two days and I am really surprised by how many people, as they passed by us, were honking their horns, raising thumbs, pulling out hidden flags and Trump gear.

I think we gave them hope and inspired them.

They were very exuberant in their joyous expressions, as if seeing an old friend and wanting to validate them.

Going to at least 2 more Trump rallies next week and may attend as many as 4.

MAGA 2020!

So good to hear! This lifts my spirits.

Dear readers this is CALIFORNIA and SAN FRANCISCO. Deeeeep blue on the edge of the continent.

And much love for Trump! I think people just need a safe space in which to express it.

I really was quite astonished at the cars driving by pulling out their hidden Americana and Trump gear while cheering us on.

I think they were shocked anyone would do this in SFO

Looking forward to the next two months.

I would absolutely LOVE it if Trump took California. It's the big enchilada. So much good can come of that.

Looking forward to the next two months as well!

There is a sizable number of Stealth Trump voters.

Won’t take California this eleltion but, if we keep this up we can make changes locally and eventually statewide...

I spoke to a lot of people in these last two days who had their opened and went from being a rabid democrat to Republican.

They thought we hated them. I told them “No, we love you and loved when you were on the other side and hoped one day you would join and be happy all time instead living in a perpetual state of anger”

I think it's great that you extended the hand of reason and friendship. :)

the cure for vile invective is love, like a parent.

That means you don’t engage them in trading stupid insults.

You give them a reason to come out of the darkness.

I have a friend that was a lesbian her entire life. Angry about this and that.

She came to know Christ and walked away from the dark life and wonders how she could have spent her entire adult life being angry about nothing really.

I knew her 30 years before she opened her eyes and heart...

You can influence a person by your actions and words eventually...

I’m in the SF Bay Area—we have a small boat and would like to join a Trump Floatilla—are any more planned next weekend? If so, where and when? Sign me up.

you mean the golden gate visitor center on the southwest side? where did you start from? what was the route?

aside, it has seemed in the past to me that the gg bridge bike policy is somewhat bicyclist centric

Pedestrians are on the East side of bridge, Bikes on the west.

We stared in SFO at the Visitors center and ended on the north side of the span well, before the Vista Point in Sausalito...
