"Brewster's No Kings rally Saturday drew more than 4,000 people, bringing almost twice as many protesters to GOP Representative Mike Lawler's district than its June event in Mount Kisco did. It was the largest rally in Brewster's history. Nationally, rally co-organizer Indivisible announced that these events drew 7 million people, also twice the June number. I'd say Lawler should be a bit nervous."
"I saw no Antifa. I did see AMPHIFA: a woman dressed as a frog waving a flag and a sign proclaiming "Amphibians Against Fascism." I saw unicorns and more frogs, an older woman riding a blow-up horse, a bunch of kids fascinated by her horse, and a handsome immigrant Superman (a family-practice doctor in Ossining) carrying a sign asking, "Would you deport Superman?" (That's a hard no, from me.)"
More than 4,000 people attended Brewster's No Kings rally, almost double the June turnout in Mount Kisco. The event was the largest in Brewster's history and national organizers reported seven million participants across similar events. Attendees included families, Latinos, people of all races, babies, and numerous dogs, alongside costume characters like frogs, unicorns, and a Superman immigrant holding a sign asking, 'Would you deport Superman?' Putnam County remained strongly Trump-leaning, underscoring the rally's strategic importance. Organizers aimed to broaden participation beyond older white voters and to blend joyful community elements with political mobilization.
