WATCH: Trump supporters break out national anthem at Texas rally
The audience at former President Donald Trump’s rally in Texas broke out into singing the national anthem Saturday night.
While Trump harped on the Jan. 6 committee’s investigation, supporters packed into the venue at Robstown gave him pause as a chorus got louder with a rendition of the Star Spangled Banner.
Trump, wearing one of his red “Make America Great Again” hats, smiled and clapped as the crowd ended with the “Home of the brave” line and began cheering loudly.
After a round of “USA” chants, Trump again spoke into the microphone saying, “Wow that’s so beautiful. You know when this whole big group stood up, I said, ‘Oh we have protesters.’ And you know what? They are protesting. They are protesting what’s taking place in our country, and it’s so bad, and so wrong.”
Trump’s rally in Texas comes just over two weeks before the midterm elections. He arrived flying in style, traveling aboard his newly refurbished Boeing 757, known as “Trump Force One.”

Although he has not formally declared a run for president in 2024, Trump has teased another campaign, and in the meantime has endorsed a wave of candidates running for office in the midterm elections.
