While the pandemic has bottled up most in-person get-out-the-vote efforts across the country, a group called Bikers for Trump is defying public health recommendations in an effort to get people voting.
, Bikers for Trump has taken advantage of recent motorcycle rallies to make direct appeals to register to vote.
“If you live in Wisconsin, North Carolina, Arizona, Ohio, Pennsylvania or Florida the campaign needs you to double-down because those are the states that we need to carry this thing,” Cox bellowed to the crowd. Cox, who started the group in 2015, has shown a knack for generating political drama. He gained media attention during the 2016for assembling a quasi-security force at rallies and forming what he called a “wall of meat” to keep protesters from disrupting Trump's inauguration. More recently, he has enlisted bikers to give Amish and Mennonite Trump supporters motorcycle rides to rallies in Pennsylvania.
“A lot of people want to participate, wearing T-shirts or maybe waving flags,” he said. “But the only way to really raise the bar and move the needle is to identify people who otherwise don’t vote and get them to vote.” “It’s not always about liking the leadership, but it’s more about respecting the leadership and seeing the direction of your future,” Cox said.
Cox also tried to brush aside criticism of Trump's handling of the COVID-19 crisis. Cox called it a “plandemic, not a pandemic," suggesting a misguided notion that the coronavirus crisis is politically motivated and will disappear.
