A conservative activist says she is organizing a “March for Trump” in Washington, D.C., in response to the impeachment inquiry President Trump faces from the House.

“We are coming to Washington to support our president, to stand with him through this impeachment charade,” Tea Party activist and Women for Trump co-chairwoman Amy Kremer told conservative news outlet Breitbart.

Kremer said the March for Trump will take place Oct. 17 at the U.S. Capitol at 10 a.m. She added that after the rally, demonstrators “will go into the halls of Congress and have our voices heard by those that are actually going to vote on impeachment.”

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) last month announced that Democrats would launch a formal impeachment inquiry into the president over his dealings with Ukraine.

Trump, in a July 25 call, encouraged Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to investigate 2020 Democratic candidate Joe Biden’s dealings with the country while, at the same time, withholding military aid from the country. Trump has denied any wrongdoing. 

A simple majority vote in the House is needed to bring impeachment charges against a president. If a president is impeached, a two-thirds majority in the Senate is needed to remove them from office.

Kremer is also a founding member of the Tea Party Patriots.
