The incident gained widespread attention after a Facebook user, Tamara Gibbs, shared footage of the gathering, which subsequently went viral. Gibbs described the scene, "What a gorgeous morning to gather at Klode Park in Whitefish Bay to engage in a Primal Scream in order to release our pain and frustration after the election." She also noted the presence of Trump supporters on a nearby hill, proudly waving their flags.

The group, predominantly composed of women, congregated at the edge of the lake that morning, releasing a collective scream towards the water. Some participants were even observed taking a dip in the icy lake waters.
The spectacle drew sharp criticism from conservative commentators. Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk wrote, "So yeah, a bunch of libs got together for a 'primal scream' ritual, releasing their anger by screaming at Lake Michigan all because Donald Trump won. This Thanksgiving, be thankful this isn't you."

Gunther Eagleman, a conservative commentator, questioned the mental stability of the participants, stating, "These people are not mentally stable."
