This past weekend Bob and I had the pleasure of serving as emcees at a Warm Welcome for Nancy Pelosi event. Some tried calling it a protest, but it truly was a rally celebrating President Trump and our Republican candidates.

Camden County Republicans, Cumberland County Young Republicans and Gloucester County Republicans did a great job organizing this event. I do have to admit it was kind of fun watching Bob introduce a talk radio personality from another radio station – Dom Giordano.

It was the one day that it actually felt like winter, which I’m sure kept the numbers down a little, but still at least 150 people showed up. I know because I counted, and I was not the only person to count.

The organizers even had a plane flying overhead with a banner that read, “South Jersey is Trump Country:”

If you ever doubted that local media has a slant to the left take a look at the coverage of protestors in Wildwood when President Donald Trump came for a Keep America Great Rally versus the coverage of U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi at Camden County College to prop up Congressman Donald Norcross.

At President Trump’s Wildwood event there were headlines like “Tailgates, Melania lookalikes, and clashes with protestors outside Trump’s rally in Wildwood” in the Philadelphia Inquirer and “’Lock him up’ protestors chant outside Trump rally in Wildwood” on NJ.com.

By contrast, for the Pelosi rally the Philadelphia Inquirer went with “Nancy Pelosi and top N.J. Democrats rally South Jersey voters ahead of 2020 election” and NJ.com went with “Pelosi stumps for Norcross in South Jersey: ‘The Donald I love is Donald Norcross.’”

Both publications made attempts to make the Republicans look bad. NJ.com claimed, “But arguing broke out when several people left the rally line to confront protesters.” The Philadelphia Inquirer upped the ante with, “At a soccer field just steps from the rally entrance, tempers were high as about a hundred Trump supporters staged a counterprotest.”

I was there and I witnessed no arguing and I don’t know where any reporter could have seen that “tempers were high.”

Both publications underestimated the crowd size at 100, but I will give kudos to Patch.com for writing, “Organizers estimated about 200 people attended the rally.”

I don’t like being one of the people out here complaining the media treats Republicans unfairly, but this is a perfect example of media treating Republicans unfairly.

For the Trump Wildwood event, it was reported, “At least 150 Trump protesters had arrived by 3 p.m., and about a dozen miniature versions of the “Baby Trump” balloon were aloft.” Another report claimed, without offering any proof, “protesters were spit on by Trump rally goers when they arrived with signs.”

And, as I already mentioned, both publications claimed “tempers were high” and that “arguing broke out” at the Camden County College event.

It’s as if both publications did everything they could to make Trump supporters look bad.

After serving as an emcee at a positive, pro-Trump event I now believe in fake news.
