American Amy Kremer describes herself as “an average mother” and a “true southern beauty.”
In her own words, she simply “loves her country and wants her son to have what she always had.”
But the former Delta Airlines flight attendant, now a right-wing political activist, is being underestimated.
She is a tough ally of America’s most powerful man (for another week, at least) and is credited with helping organize the demonstration that last week turned deadly inside the home of American democracy.
On January 9, Kremer wrote to his 80,000 Twitter followers: “Joe Biden will NEVER be my president.”
But the co-founder of the Women for Trump movement has been doing her job both offline and on social media, where her avatar is a stern-looking Donald Trump.
“Today, Trump supporters have seized the … highways, streetcars, airline exit airways, bound for DC for the #SaveAmerica! Rally.” she wrote on January 6.
Many of them, some who would later storm the United States Capitol in a failed coup attempt to overturn free and fair elections, were there for her.
In the previous months and weeks, he had traveled from state to state in a big red bus picking up disgruntled Americans in what one publication compared to the Pied Piper.
“At more than 25 stops, at parking lots and aircraft hangers in states including Arizona, Georgia, Louisiana, Kentucky and Tennessee, flight attendant-turned-political activist Amy Kremer and other speakers urged the crowd to join her and others in Washington to fight for Trump and revoke the election, “wrote Reuters.
“It is up to you and me to save this Republic,” he told people gathered in a park near the White House. “We’re not going to back down, are we? Keep fighting.”
The language is straight out of Trump’s playbook – broad, generic statements about resistance that can then be referenced to deny any actual incitement.
Reuters reports that Kremer and others had been gathering “staunch Trump supporters across the United States … inspired by conspiracy theories and driven into action by Trump’s desperate calls to save democracy.”
He noted that among the recruits were “radical right-wing groups … including white supremacists and devotees of the conspiracy theory QAnon, which portrays Trump as a savior figure and elite Democrats as a cabal of Satan-worshiping pedophiles and cannibals. “.
Just normal people. Down to earth, “average” Americans.
Kremer’s main act on the March for Trump bus tour was not a one-man show. She was financially supported by the CEO of a pillow company (My Pillow) which, as Reuters notes, is a “former cocaine addict and alcoholic” and sponsored by the Right Side Broadcasting Network.
It was a sophisticated and planned recruiting process that history will inexorably link to the events of January 6.
The day before, while driving to Washington DC, members of the Bus de Mujeres por América shared their unbridled excitement at the prospect of what was to come.
“Driving to DC right now on the #MarchForTrump bus,” they wrote.
“Honestly, we’ve lost count of how many thumbs up we’ve seen. Tomorrow at the (rally) will be epic!”
What we now know is that months of agitating Trump loyalists with unproven claims about voter fraud reached a violent crescendo and that “epic” is not the right word.
Hundreds of staunch Trump supporters stormed the United States Capitol in a plot that included plans to take hostages and broadcast the dismantling of a peaceful vote count live.
Five people died and the scenes were universally condemned as a blot on America. But Kremer is trying to rewrite the narrative of the day.
“It’s funny to hear the media hysterical about the protesters in the United States Capitol … when for months, they had no problem with BLM and Antifa destroying and burning buildings and cities,” he wrote.
She shared images of the police on Capitol Hill, who were outnumbered and surrendered to the wave of people, claiming they “stepped aside and invited them in.”
He then apologized for their behavior because they are “angry”, having shared the same lies from Trump that angered them in the first place.
“When more than half the country disputes the election results, it is no wonder people are angry and feel that they are not being heard,” he wrote.
On his website, Kremer states that “political activism (has consumed my) life for the past seven years.”
Seven days from now, the man you fought so hard to get elected, and fought against the current to stay in power, will be out of the Oval Office.
