The ‘Rally Against Rednecks’ that set the internet ablaze last week didn’t quite live up to the billing on Tuesday. Zul Mohamed’s supporters were outnumbered outside Frisco City Hall, where counter-demonstrators appeared in far greater numbers.
Social media accounts and local reporters on the scene described a low turnout for the advertised event. Multiple observers noted that Mohamed arrived with little to no organized support and arrived late.
A video posted by Frontlines TPUSA captured what they described as a “Redneck Rally” counter-demonstration outside Frisco City Hall, with American flags visible and a few individuals from the local Hindu community standing with the larger group. The post noted that, despite Mohamed shifting his event timing to 7:30 p.m., there wasn’t much of a counter to the pro-American crowd.
Local reporter Tony Ortiz with Current Revolt also shared photos from the scene showing a spattering of police presence. Ortiz later spoke with Mohamed by phone, who allegedly said he was not holding a full rally but was planning to speak at the Frisco City Council meeting.
When Mohamed arrived around 7:15 p.m., the crowd closed in with chants of “USA, USA” and “You will not replace us.” Frisco police maintained separation between groups.
No arrests or violence were reported as of press time.
As previously reported by The Dallas Express, the “Rally Against Rednecks” promotion sparked online backlash. In his original Facebook post, Mohamed framed the rally as a celebration of the local Asian community’s contributions, while referring to his critics as “trailer-park trash yokels” and “low-class people.” The graphics for the rally featured crossed-out images of conservative figures alongside flags from Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and several other countries with the caption “We make Frisco TX great!!”
Frisco city officials had previously told The Dallas Express that they were aware of the planned rally but did not provide any details on permitting or security measures.
Mohamed’s Criminal History
Zul Mohamed, a Carrollton mayoral candidate, is no stranger to controversy. In 2024, he pleaded guilty to more than 100 felony counts stemming from a 2020 mail-ballot fraud scheme during his previous bid for Carrollton mayor.
According to the Denton County District Attorney’s Office, Mohamed was sentenced to four years in state prison on 25 counts of possessing voters’ ballots without authorization, along with 10 years of probation on 81 counts of requesting mail-in ballots without voters’ knowledge or consent.
He is also facing six new third-degree felony charges of impersonating a public servant related to fake jury duty notices sent to Denton County residents during his trial.
Despite numerous criminal convictions, Mohamed remains on the ballot for the 2026 Carrollton mayoral race as he continues to appeal both his convictions and a probation condition banning him from “political activity.”
