For Anthony Cibelli, the March for Trump rally in Washington, D.C. was a stage to raise awareness for various issues that others may not have been aware of, such as human trafficking.
“The turnout is amazing,” said Cibelli, an Army veteran who traveled from the Bronx. “I’m here raising awareness of the massively fraudulent family court and child welfare system that has plagued our country for so many years and is nothing short of child and human trafficking.”
According to the National Foster Youth Institute, approximately 60% of child sex trafficking victims have been linked to the U.S. child welfare system.

Cibelli was among thousands who attended the Nov. 14 protest last Saturday in response to the Joe Biden being named president-elect after winning a projected 306 electoral votes compared to President Trump’s 232.
“This election has raised awareness to the fraud that’s been going on here in America for many years with many individuals who are in office having major affiliation with these voting systems,” Cibelli told the NYC Gazette. “I hope to see President Trump prevail and restore integrity in our nation.”
Bipartisan election officials across the country have reported no significant voter fraud, but that didn’t stop President Trump from wiring $3 million to Wisconsin election officials on Nov. 17, requesting a recount of votes cast in Milwaukee and Dane counties, traditionally Democratic enclaves.
According to media reports, Trump's campaign alleges, without evidence, that some absentee ballots were illegally cast for various reasons. The recount is expected to be completed by Dec. 1.
Trump supporters at the rally walked from Freedom Plaza to the U.S. Supreme Court building across from the Capitol as President Trump briefly rode by the crowd in a motorcade.
While Cibelli used a megaphone to peacefully demonstrate, members of Antifa and the Proud Boys reportedly clashed as the march ended.
The Boston Herald reported the morning after the march that 24 people were arrested as a result of clashes with Biden supporters that occurred during and after the rally.
