(Mark Pellin, Headline USA) As massive crowds lined streets in Florida on Monday to show support for former President Donald Trump, who was flying to New York to be arraigned on DA Alvin Bragg’s Soros-funded indictment, leading Republican politicians and conservative personalities were encouraging Team MAGA to remain peaceful in their protests.
“The Dems are hoping some group will act out in violent protests so they can seize more power. Don’t do it!” advised one MAGA supporter from Florida.
There’s crowds of people who are standing outside of Trumps residence in Mar-a-Lago right now at this hour, holding flags in show of support.
The People are behind Trump.

“Don’t protest in NYC. You can bet it’s a set up with exponentially more Ray Epps around encouraging violence to entrap Trump supporters,” the National Mouth’s Tim Young warned.
If you're going to a Trump protest tomorrow in NYC, I beg you be safe. These people don't play by the same rules as us. Be safe but know there's a high chance you'll end up in jail after or worse. Remember January 6th and the set up, remember that NYC police are leftist pawns and…

Blaze Media founder Glenn Beck offered similar guidance, and for similar reasons.
“They’re doing it because they want people to strike out,” Beck told Fox News host Tucker Carlson. “Please, turn to God, repent. Pray for our country. Pray for peace.”
But peaceful protest doesn’t mean no protest, reminded Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., who encouraged Trump supporters to attend a planned rally in Manhattan.
Join me TOMORROW at 10:30 AM with @NYYRC to protest the political persecution of President Donald J. Trump in NYC at Collect Pond Park.

“Join us in peaceful protest of Alvin Bragg’s heinous attack on President Donald J. Trump!” encourages an Event Brite invitation. The event, slated for Tuesday at 10:30 a.m. in New York’s Collect Pond Park, is schedule to feature Greene, Jack Posobiec and Graham Allen.
Proving warnings of leftist retaliation against any pro-Trump support to be entirely valid, New York City Democrat Mayor Eric Adams promised swift action to deal with any protests.
Delusional @NYCMayor is trying to intimidate, threaten, and stop me from using my 1st amendment rights to peacefully protest the Democrat’s unconstitutional weaponization of our justice system against our top Republican Presidential candidate, President Trump.
Mayor Adams should…

“Mayor Adams should be more concerned about NY citizens and taxpayers being murdered, raped, robbed, and carjacked than an elected Member of Congress coming to town,” Greene wrote. “Or should I be the one concerned that the mayor of NYC will weaponize his government or maybe his thugs like DA Alvin Bragg against me?”
Popular conservative commentator Jesse Kelly warned that Trump supporters would be walking into a trap to be sprung by riotous activists with years of radical training, backed by mainstream media collaborators and the Democrat regime.
“Here’s why you shouldn’t protest in blue cities and why you should DEFINITELY stay out of NYC tomorrow,” Kelly tweeted. “Remember Mike Tyson? We all watched him knock people’s heads off for a living. But you know what we didn’t watch?”
You haven’t done the work. The communist street animals get to protest in those places because they’ve spent DECADES seizing political power in them. Now they’re protected from up on high.

“But you don’t see that decades of winning local elections and activism,” Kelly expounded. “You see the animals in the street and say, “Hey, I should be able to do that too! But you can’t. You’re not ready to step in the ring with Tyson.”
They’re waiting for you. They want you to come. But you can’t yet. Go spend decades winning local elections and putting in the work.
The work comes first.
That’s all.
