Conservative activists are holding a Stop Socialism rally in Sugar Land this coming Monday. The event will feature some of the biggest names in Fort Bend County Republican politics, with confirmed speakers including Congressman Pete Olson and former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay.
I decided at a certain point, I just couldnt take it anymore, said event organizer Karen MacWilliam. We just need to secure our border. We need to support [President] Trump. What hes gone through in the last couple of years
The focus of the rally is on national issues, including immigration and health care. But Shapnik Khan, a Fort Bend Democratic activist, sees the event as having local implications. He points to the online trolling of county Democratic officials as alleged socialists.
Our newly elected county judge, KP George, was under a smear attack, Khan said. Same with our Fort Bend County DA [Brian Middleton] was under attack as well, because of their color, because of their stand with the progressive mindset. County Judge George is Indian-American, while District Attorney Middleton is African-American.
The rally will take place Monday, April 15, from noon to 2 p.m. at Sugar Land Town Square.
