Former President Donald Trump's upcoming rally in Waco, Texas, has been met with criticism from the Houston Chronicle's editorial board, who have suggested that the location of the rally is a symbol of anti-government extremism and conspiracism. They noted that the city has become a shrine to the Proud Boys, the Three Percenters, the Oath Keepers, and other anti-government groups, and that Trump's visit is a reminder of the 1993 Branch Davidian compound siege. The board urged the public to be aware of the symbolism of the event and its implications.
