Reps. Matt Gaetz, Marjorie Taylor Greene move America First rally from OC to Riverside [View all]

Event was originally scheduled in Orange County, but that venue canceled due to controversy surrounding the GOP Congress members.


Republican U.S. Reps. Matt Gaetz and Marjorie Taylor Greene have moved Saturday’s planned America First rally east, from Orange County to Riverside, after their original venue abruptly canceled them last week and their teams spent a week trying to find a new O.C. location.

Gaetz, who represents a Florida district, and Greene, a representative from Georgia, said they won’t share where the event will be held until 24 hours in advance, citing “security concerns.”

But Greene’s spokesman Nick Dyer confirmed the move to Riverside on Thursday, July 15. Ted Weggeland, CEO of the company that runs the downtown Riverside Convention Center, said Thursday afternoon: “We believe (the rally) will be held Saturday night at the convention center.”

Weggeland said he didn’t have details of the rally contract and referred questions to Scott Megna, president of Raincross Hospitality Corporation and convention center general manager. Megna could not be reached for comment Thursday afternoon.
