A trustee for the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District (PYLUSD) who was once part of an anti-terrorism effort by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department following the 9/11 attacks says her attendance at the pro-President Donald Trump rally in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 6 doesn’t make her a “terrorist” or an “insurrectionist,” as her detractors have claimed.
Leandra Blades went on a “girls’ trip” to Washington to hear Trump speak because she’s always wanted to go to one of his rallies, she told The Epoch Times on Jan. 18. A social media post by one of her girlfriends included a photo of them at the rally; that image was later used by people within the school district to demand her resignation, she said.
