The Red Tie Brigade, as I heard one conservative writer call them, show up each day at the courthouse in Manhattan and speak up to show support for former President Trump. Trump is under a gag order that prevents him from talking about the trial, especially the judge, the judge’s Democrat fundraising daughter, and the jury members.
So, the Republican politicians come from Washington and speak out to the press about the hush money trial going on. Trump can’t so they do. It is a clever way to handle an unconstitutional gag order.
Each day it is a group of men wearing dark suits and red ties, obviously coordinated, and a few women. The groups are mostly men, though. Donald Trump is a master marketer and this play by the Trump campaign is very effective. It shows support for Trump and it shows party unity.
For example, here is a photo of some of the Trump supporters on Thursday.
