Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a particularly loyal Trump backer in Congress, also spoke – she’s been in Texas several times over the past few years.
The rally got off to a fiery start with Florida U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz shaming Texas Sen. Ted Cruz for stalling on endorsing Trump for president in 2024, and U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Georgia, declaring that the U.S. should be"bombing the Mexican cartels."Texas Agriculture Commissioner Sid Miller told the crowd that today’s political landscape has moved beyond party affiliation.
Reminding the crowd that he had made a cameo appearance in “1883,” the prequel spinoff to the show “Yellowstone,” Miller asked, “You know what I really like about Yellowstone, I found fantastic?” That event has long been an anti-government rallying call for some on the far right. While the image might fit Trump’s message these days, his campaign said Waco was selected for its central location, not for any larger symbolic meaning.U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz shames Sen. Ted Cruz, Rep. Tony Gonzales for not endorsing Trump
Gaetz also slammed U.S. Rep. Tony Gonzales, a San Antonio Republican who has opposed far-right immigration bills in the House, as “pro-amnesty.”“Call him amnes-Tony Gonzales,” Gaetz said, complaining of “Republican betrayal.”
