COLUMBUS, N.C. — In the critically important United States presidential election that will be held on Nov. 5, “the most important thing on the ballot is the First Amendment,” conservative radio talk show host Tara Servatius told those attending a Rally for America outdoor event in Stearns Park in downtown Columbus on Sept. 14.
What’s more, she said the far-left Democrat elite led by presidential nominee Kamala Harris (now vice president) and her vice presidential running mate Tim Walz (now Minnessota governor) seeks “to control every single social media and search engine on the planet.”
“The Tara Show” host on Greenville, S.C.-based radio station News-Talk 98.9 FM (from 6 to 10 a.m. Monday-Friday) was the rally’s “special guest” speaker.
She bills herself as follows:
“Born free. Determined to keep it that way. Wife, mom. Talk radio convert. Host of ‘The Tara Show.’”
The Rally for America, which drew more than 200 people despite an occasional drizzle, was promoted as an opportunity to “meet candidates and organizations from across North Carolina, working to restore traditional American values.”
Touted as “a family event,” the four-hour rally also featured faith leaders, grassroots activists, conservative candidates, music by the Well Praise Team and special performances by Tony Dale.
Besides Servatius’ keynote address, speeches also were given by state Sen. Tim Moffitt, R-Henderson County; N.C. House Speaker Tim Moore, R-Kings Mountain; and a number of local officials and candidates.
Introducing Servatius was Michele Woodhouse, the chair of the North Carolina Republican Party’s 11th Congressional District (and a Henderson County resident), who said, “I get the great honor now of introducing my great friend Tara.
“This woman ‘hits the gate’ every morning... Her shows and her podcasts are amazing. Nobody shoots it straighter... I am so honored to bring her to the stage....”
The crowd erupted into applause and cheering as Servatius began her 30-minute address by asking, as a radio station pro, “First question — how is the signal? It’s coming in clear?... Great!”
