Hundreds Gather For MAGA Freedom Rally In Wauwatosa; 1 Arrested

WAUWATOSA, WI — Hundreds of President Donald Trump supporters lined the streets of Wauwatosa on Saturday morning for a “MAGA Freedom Rally," many of whom were protesting the Nov. 3 election in response to the president's ongoing, baseless allegations of fraud.

The rally, which started at 11 a.m., drew about 600 people to the intersection of North Mayfair Road and West North Avenue, according to Wauwatosa police. According to reports, members of the far-right group Proud Boys were in attendance, providing "security" at the rally, some of whom were confronted by counter-protesters.

One arrest was made for disorderly conduct. Police said the crowd mostly stayed on the sidewalk and allowed traffic to move through the area.

No injuries or property damage were reported, police added.

The rally was slated to feature outspoken Trump supporter David Clarke, the former sheriff of Milwaukee County, according to ticketing website Eventbrite. It also took place near Mayfair Mall, where on Friday, eight people were injured in a mass shooting.

The shooting, which injured seven adults and one teenager, happened near the mall's northeast entrance just before 3 p.m. Friday. Wauwatosa police are still searching for the suspect.

The rally was reportedly scheduled days prior to the shooting, according to CBS 58 in Milwaukee.

The mall disavowed any association with the rally on its Facebook page, asserting that “all political activity, rallies, and protests are strictly prohibited.”
