The pool arrived at Compotech HQ in Brewer at 11:26 after an uneventful drive, save for a group of about a dozen protesters on the side of the road. About 200 people are gathered in this large warehouse, which is adorned with signage that says "DEFEND OUR FUTURE" and displays the Compotech logo.
SBA Administrator Kelly Loeffler took the stage at 11:54 and introduced the VP, who walked out at 12:03.
The remarks are being carried live, so I will not endeavor to send comprehensive quotes. You can follow along here: https://www.youtube.com/live/nsf9hI56g8s?is=6LeZRXf8MYPED_8n
