(PatriotWise.com) — Donald Trump was among the Republican presidential candidate who appeared at the Moms for Liberty’s “Joyful Warriors National Summit” in Philadelphia, Politico reported.
In his keynote speech, Trump addressed the Southern Poverty Law Center labeling Moms for Liberty as an alleged “anti-government extremist group.”
Trump told the crowd that the “radical left” has slandered the group because it is fighting for children. He described Moms for Liberty as “the best thing that’s ever happened to America” and vowed that “together,” he and the group would “throw them out of office” on election day.
Trump also offered up red-meat campaign promises, including vowing to send education back to the states while simultaneously promising to work for the direct election of school principals if he wins the White House.
Trump also promised to ban transgender procedures for minors and end DEI initiatives in the federal government.
Trump visited the famous Philly cheesesteak restaurant Pat’s King of Steaks where he met and spoke with supporters, the Daily Caller reported.
One excited Trump supporter who posed for a photo told Trump that her “401K misses you.”
Trump wasn’t the only GOP candidate to address the summit.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former UN ambassador Nikki Haley also spoke at last weekend’s event.
DeSantis’ speech was frequently met with raucous cheers and applause as the Florida Republican touted a variety of policies he has enacted in his state, primarily those protecting parental rights and children, ABC News reported.
DeSantis told the crowd that American moms will be a “key political force” in 2024 and said that Republicans have the “opportunity to harness” their energy and concerns in the election.
Unsurprisingly, the summit attracted its share of protesters who agree with the Southern Poverty Law Center’s view that moms who fight for their children must be extremists.
