HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) — Hundreds of boaters showed up to Lake Houston on Saturday in support of a Trump boat parade.
More than 500 people responded to a Facebook event titled, “Lake Houston Boat Parade Big T 2020 Trump Support,” asking participants to decorate boats in “red, white and blue for 2020.”
Video from the event, which started at 2 p.m., showed hundreds of cars lined up headed to the lake. Also, several boats were spotted decked out with American and Trump flags.
The boat parade comes just one week after five boats sank at Lake Travis just outside of Austin shortly after the parade started.
A total of 15 boaters reported distress to police while in the water.
The reasons for calling included boats taking on water, stalled engines and capsized boats. Three additional reports of boats taking on water were also called in from a local towing company.
