This is a thing that happened on Sunday:

In Anaheim, CA. Home of Disneyland, the Happiest and one of the most conservative places on earth.

It was billed as "Latino outreach," and featured very not-Latino date rape apologist Mike Cernovich.

Orange County Register:

About 100 supporters of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump rallied at Anaheim City Hall on Sunday afternoon, arguing that his support among the Latino community is stronger than has been widely reported.

The rally, organized by Latinos for Trump, was part of an initiative termed Operation Taco Bowl – an apparent reference to a Cinco de Mayo photo of Trump eating a taco bowl with a caption that read, “I love Hispanics.”

Those attending were about half Latino, with most from outside of Orange County. Trump supporters took turns standing beside two mannequin caricatures of Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton and telling the crowd why they support Trump.

Soooo, 100 people showed up, of which half were actually Latino. In Southern California on a Sunday.

What a rousing success.
