The Lion Guard (also known as the "Lions of Trump") was a political group that purported to provide online and physical security to supporters of Republican Party presidential nominee Donald Trump,[1] including one in Arizona.[2]
The group's website said that the organization was formed after clashes between protesters and Trump supporters at a rally in Chicago on March 11, 2016.[3] According to its website, the group's mission was to "Provide safety and security to Trump supporters while willing to forcefully protect Donald Trump from people who threaten him" and to be "the voluntary eyes and ears of Make America Great Again on Social Media." The website also said, "We do not endorse instigating fights or brawling with anti-Trump marauders. The Lion Guard seeks to identify and expose plots to attack Mr. Trump, Trump Supporters, and their rallies before they even can happen."[4]
Lion Guard's name came from a tweet in which Trump quoted Benito Mussolini.[5]
