Blake Marnell
Blake Marnell, also known as "Brick Suit" or "Brick Man",[1] is an American political activist and media personality known for wearing a brick-patterned suit at Donald Trump rallies and other political events, a symbol of his support for the Mexico–United States border wall.
While Marnell is known for being a supporter of Donald Trump, he stated that prior to 2020 he had not cast a presidential ballot since he voted for Ronald Reagan in 1984.[2]
On May 20, 2019,[3] Marnell gained widespread attention after then-President Trump asked Marnell to join him onstage during a rally in Montoursville, Pennsylvania during his 2020 presidential campaign. Marnell was wearing the suit and holding a sign that said "Build Me" when he was called onstage.[4] He described being called up on stage as an "out-of-body experience".[5] Marnell stated that he had ordered the suit online, presumably on Amazon.[6] The event in question took place while Trump was campaigning for Fred Keller, who was running to replace Tom Marino in a special election.[7]
Marnell has since appeared at numerous political events.[8] He has worked with Right Side Broadcasting Network.[9]
Marnell lives in San Diego, California.[10][5]
