Hundreds of Colorado supporters of President Trump pushed back on opposition protests Monday with a rally on the statehouse steps in what felt like a throwback to campaign season.

They chanted “Lock her up” about Hillary Clinton; they yelled for Trump to “drain the swamp”; they cheered for a border wall; they talked about making America great again.

“Many ask, ‘How can you support Donald Trump?'” Devin Camacho, the 19-year-old chairman of the Otero County Republican Party told the crowd. “You’re a millennial, you’re a college student and you’re Hispanic. Well, that is exactly why I support him.”

He said millenials’ main concern is jobs, and burdensome regulations are in the way. Trump has vowed to clear that path, Camacho said.

“We see hope in what lies ahead,” he said.

Camacho said Democrats are manipulating minorities for political gain.

“I’m sick and tired of my heritage being used as a pawn by the political left,” he said to cheers.

At once point, people near the rear of the gathering yelled, “Stop the hate, stop the hate,” and the crowd roarded back, “U-S-A, U-S-A.”

Several people at the rally said they were eager to hear Trump’s address to Congress Tuesday.

“It’s time to hear some details,” said Jeff Martin, who voted for Trump only after Sen. Ted Cruz endorsed the GOP nominee. “He’s only been in there a month, and I think he’ll take us in the right direction, but I’d feel better if I knew more, I guess.”

Margo Knutson, the organizer of Monday’s pro-Trump rally, suggested to the crowd that they get together every week. She noted that the national organization Main Street Patriots is putting on a pro-Trump rally at the state Capitol in Denver Saturday at noon.

State Sen. Tim Neville, a Republican from Littleton, fired up the crowd by moving them away from party labels and toward the bedrock conservative values that first drew many of them to the Tea Party movement, then to Trump.

“My job, when I got involved with politics, was not to turn the state of Colorado more red, more blue or whatever,” Neville said, “but it was to turn the state of Colorado into more liberty and more constitutional governing. Can I get an amen?”

He got lots.

Others wanted to push back on liberal protesters the way they had pushed back on the media, pollsters and Clinton supporters during the campaigns.

“The opposition protests got a lot of press, and I’ve kind of wondered why either the pro-Trump or pro-America conservative people didn’t get out and protest,” said Jeff Bartholemew, who was at the rally with his father, Christian Bartholemew.
