A crowd that reportedly numbers in the tens of thousands has descended on Phoenix, Arizona and gathered outside the Hyatt Regency Hotel downtown to protest on behalf of President Donald Trump and fair elections Monday, as the state of Arizona certifies election results despite widespread reports of election fraud.
Prominent speakers of the day included conservative commentators Michelle Malkin and Nick Fuentes, who received thunderous applause from the crowd during their respective speeches.
