AOC draws 3-mile-long line for rally in California’s Trump country
SF Gate ^ | April 16, 2025 | By Anabel Sosa

Rep. Kevin Kiley is under fire again as constituents from his conservative-leaning district are becoming increasingly fed up.

Kiley was under the microscope Tuesday at the most recent rally held by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Sen. Bernie Sanders in Folsom. The Sacramento County event was the 10th stop on Sanders’ Fighting Oligarchy tour, which he’s been co-headling with Ocasio-Cortez in cities across the West. Tuesday’s event, despite taking place within Kiley’s heavily red district, drew about 30,000 supporters and had a 3-mile line extending beyond the entrance.

“I heard that they were, that someone started flying a plane with a banner that said, ‘This is Trump country.’ It sure don’t look like it today,” Ocasio-Cortez, a progressive from New York, said to a roaring crowd, referring to a plane that was reportedly circling overhead.

Kiley, who was elected in 2022, represents California’s 3rd District, which is a safe red district that spans a large swath of eastern California from Sacramento to the Sierra, and down to Death Valley.

Ocasio-Cortez called out Kiley and other Republicans in Congress if they end up voting to cut Medicaid and Social Security benefits in the Republican-led reconciliation bill.

Rep. Kevin Kiley is under fire again as constituents from his conservative-leaning district are becoming increasingly fed up.

Fed up with what? Are there some poll numbers that indicate voter dissatisfaction in the district? Or is this just the usual substance-free left-wing editorializing in a supposed news article?

So they drew a crowd in a gerrymandered district that easily allows numerous blue strongholds to attend the rally. But we are not told that, only the propaganda of 3 mile ling line.

We can never hate the media enough.

Mind you I am not saying to ignore it, just that not all is as it seems with the lying media.

Gee, Folsom is a half hour from Sacramento. What are the odds the libtard dumprats got in cars and drove there to the commie rally?

I think they’re talking about the Coachella Festival. As if anybody even knew or cared that these whackjobs were also there.

“despite taking place within Kiley’s heavily red district,”
Trump had a Yuuuge turnout in the Bronx.

The congresswoman sent a clear message: “We just need to peel off three Republican congressmen. And I got a feeling that you might do it right here,” she said. “...

She’s broadcasting that this is one of the elections they will steal and Republicans will do nothing about it. Has anyone besides a few illegal drug smugglers been arrested yet for anything?

People forget she was selected from a group of people who answered an audition. She simply follows orders.

This rent-a-mob doesn’t even know what “oligarchy” means - they just want their checks.

I was just kinda wondering if she was walking down the road playing a flute. I hear California has a big rat problem.
