Pastor Eli Moreno, who opened the rally with prayer, and his wife, Francesca Moreno, were among those affected.

However, she stood by her actions, stating, “I’ll acknowledge wrongdoing when Trump apologizes for the racist, misogynistic, sexist, inflammatory comments he’s made about women, people of color, LGBTQ…”
