Hello from Charlotte, NC -- Trump is on the way for a #MAGA rally -- some rallygoers have been in line since last night. And it's been raining heavily here.pic.twitter.com/LGSKdYvZov

Lots of reporters have pointed this out, and I'm seeing it firsthand: Groups jeer CNN here, but individuals ask for selfies and say "we're glad you're here." Yes, some are insulting, but many others are friendly. I've been having so many conversations, not much time to tweet.

Relatively quiet in the arena. Then all of a sudden, an announcer says "ladies and gentlemen..." and the crowd ROARS... "the 45th president of the United States, Donald J. Trump!" Long walk to stage. "USA" chant now.pic.twitter.com/n1le2EKZ9P

As you might've noticed, my tweets are a bit delayed because cell phone reception is shaky in here! He's in media-bashing mode now. Boos, then more boos. Some supporters turn around & point at us in the press pen.

I've watched so many of these rallies on TV, I find myself mouthing some of the words, predicting the next line. It's like knowing the lyrics of a song, except the songs are about "chain migration" and "finishing the wall"

Before Trump arrived, I heard a rallygoer talking to a group of others about the bomb suspect: "He was a LIBERAL! He was anti-Trump on his Facebook." She said "they" (didn't say who) "put stickers on his van, like, last night." The same woman then screamed anti-media sentiments.

That's a wrap at the Bojangles Coliseum. You know that feeling in your ears when you're leaving a concert? Yeah, that.

This gentleman came up to the press pen and mocked me, but then said "We love you. We do."https://twitter.com/timfunk/status/1055913158311923717 …

When is this craziness going to end? When Trump leaves office will things go back to normal?

I truly hope it's not too late for that.

The best vantage point is a bar about two miles away from you in Uptown. Get out of there after the week you guys have had! Geez!

Take good footage of the crowd. The next Trump inspired terrorist is probably in the audience

Yep and the more
@CNN covers trump’s Hitler rallies, the more publicity you’re giving him, and run the dangerous risk of trump gaining supporters. But I guess...you do you. Ratings right? - 1 more reply
