MAGA faithful were stranded after Trump’s Coachella rally last night, including many elderly folks. Bussed in but not bussed out. pic.twitter.com/C4nqtSBSlr
Waited 7 hrs to be bussed into the middle of a Coachella TRUMP RALLY. Then abandoned 6-7 miles away from their own transportation at night. TRUMP is lavishing in the knowledge that he can CONTROL these people. And hold their well-being on a whim. Same way he would our country. pic.twitter.com/KxVz4vHaK0

So Trump has all these people bused in to his Coachella rally, and then he just leaves them there – stranded, in the middle of the freaking desert, in the middle of the freaking night. He doesn't care about them; he doesn't care about you. pic.twitter.com/WGIwY5xa4i

During the rally, Trump said a female protester should get “the hell knocked out of her”:
Back home to mommy. She goes back home to mommy. ‘Was that you darling?’ And then she gets the hell knocked out of her.
The Desert Sun noted some of the lies pushed by Trump at the rally:
Trump also repeatedly referenced claims, which local leaders and media outlets have debunked, that apartment complexes in Aurora, Colorado have been taken over by Venezuelan gangs. He drew loud applause when he said he would use the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to “target and dismantle every migrant criminal network operating on American soil,” saying he will call that effort “Operation Aurora.”
