Defeat the Mandates rally and March

A "let's go Brandon" flag flies during the Defeat the Mandates rally and march in Washington, DC, as US Park Police watch for security threats. The phrase is a euphenism for an insult aimed at Biden. Organizers and attendees claim that vaccines and mask-wearing should be a personal choice, without regard to public health. The event was billed as a protest against vaccine and mask mandates used to stop the spread of the coronavirus by all Americans, but the crowd overwhelmingly leans right. 20,000 people are expected for the event.
