Devin Nunes Freedom Fest brought blockbuster crowds to the International Agri-Center on Saturday for a day of prayer and protest.
The Tulare Republican hosted prominent conservatives from across the country for the sold-out event. The prayer element was necessary so that the festival could qualify as a religious gathering, which are exempt from California s coronavirus capacity limits, Nunes said. If you re talking to Newsom, there s only 300 people here, so we re legal unless you re holding a religious ceremony, a winking Nunes said.
More than 1,700 people attended the festival, which was live-streamed on Rumble, an online video platform that conservatives have held up as an alternative to YouTube and Facebook.
