Villages MAGA Club shows support for Trump after shooting

The Villages MAGA Club held a golf cart parade to show support for former President Donald Trump after he was wounded Saturday in an assassination attempt.

More than 120 golf carts adorned with Trump signs and flags assembled Sunday afternoon at Creekside Medical at Lake Sumter Landing.

President of The Villages MAGA Club Tommy Jamieson led the parade around the Lake Sumter Landing square down to the Brownwood Paddock Square. Jamison said his wife Valerie was the moving force for the parade even though she was not present. His wife was in Virginia and saw the assassination attempt on television.

The golf cart rally came together in less than 24 hours.
