Quote:Crow Tribal Chairman Alvin Not Afraid, Jr. was met with praise and applause while speaking at a GOP rally held Monday afternoon in Montana. In attendance was Vice President Mike Pence, who headlined the event.
“Today I stand before you to endorse, as well as support, President Trump, Vice President Pence,” Not Afraid, Jr. said before also endorsing other Republican candidates in Montana.
Those endorsements included U.S. Senator Steven Daines who faces a November challenge from Democratic Gov. Steve Bullock; current Montana U.S. House Rep. Greg Gianforte, a Republican running for governor; and state auditor Matt Rosendale, a candidate for the U.S. House.
Not Afraid, Jr. began his roughly four-minute remarks with an honor song sang by two others who joined him on stage. The trio also offered Pence a buffalo robe.
“I’ll tell you, on the President’s behalf, we couldn’t be more grateful to receive the endorsement today of the Crow Tribe of Montana for four more years in the White House,” Pence said in his opening remarks. “Thank you to the Crow Nation for that honor.”
