Bethel Park is a predominantly white, relatively well-to-do city in the southern reaches of greater Pittsburgh. The site of the rally, Butler, is about an hour’s drive north of Pittsburgh.

They already latched on to spouting BS that about him attending BLM protests and going all the way cross the country to Seattle to come to CHOP.
