“I think for the average American and the average citizen of Massachusetts, it doesn’t mean a lot frankly,” said MassGOP Chair Amy Carnevale.
Massachusetts Republicans question if this rally speaks to everyday voters.
“I mean we’re going about our business, we’re worried about putting food on the table, paying our electricity bills which seem to go up every month,” said Carnevale.
U.S. Senate candidate John Deaton criticized Senator Markey for taking part, saying, “Ed Markey has been in Congress for almost 50 years, that is half a century, longer than most kings or monarchs ever hold power.”
Organizers hope the rally sends a message.
“The message is that we the people have the power. And we need to show up and use our power and build our power,” said Paul.
