Rep. Michele Bachmann will hold her own rally on Saturday on the Washington Monument grounds immediately following Glenn Beck’s rally at the Lincoln Memorial.
Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally has been trumpeted as a “non-political” event that’s unconnected to the Tea Party, and conservative officeholders are mostly staying at arms’ length.
But Bachmann is attending the Beck rally, said campaign spokesman Sergio Gor, though she will not have a speaking role. She appears to be the only confirmed officeholder who will attend, not counting former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, who has a featured role.
Gor said that following Beck’s rally on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial, Bachmann will walk to the Washington Monument, a few blocks away, for her own event.
See previous post for reason for Bachmann's post-rally rally.
UPDATE: Bachmann has an invite to her post-rally rally on Breitbart's website - she's calling it "A Tea Party Townhall":
I would like to invite everyone who is in Washington, DC to attend a townhall with me and several other prominent guests. Our outdoor event will be held next to the Washington Monument, at 15th Street & Constitution. We will be starting on Saturday at 1:30pm. This will be a great forum for individuals who wish to make their voices heard. Please join me for this free event!
