SPRINGFIELD, Ill.—Someone asked Ashley Ramos whether rain was going to cause the cancellation of the Stop the Steal rally in Springfield, Illinois on Nov. 14, 2020, one of many happening across the country that day. Rain was the least of her concerns, for Ramos and others, between media accusations of a conspiracy and social media censorship.
“George Washington was at the Delaware River, and it was snowing, it was terrible, and he fought through that and won a war. So if all we have to deal with today is a little bit of rain to come out and support our fellow Americans and get our voices heard and fulfill our missions we’re willing to do that,” Ramos said.
