The organizer, Carlos Gavido, says he is proud of what he’s accomplished since May.
“You know it’s pretty amazing, to be quiet honest. It’s an overwhelming amount of patriotism," said Gavido. "This movement has ignited the silent majority. They’re tired of being silent. You know this gives them the ability to go out and be with other people and not be ridiculed.”
Gavido says over the last six months the boat parades have helped register nearly 200,000 Republicans in the State of Florida. And Gavido's events have attracted high-profile Republicans like Pam Bondi, Colby Covington, Hogan Gidley, Laura Loomer, Ricky Rebel, and members of Trump's family, like Eric Trump.
