Thousands of protesters gathered in front of one of Donald Trump’s signature Manhattan buildings Saturday to protest the GOP front-runner.
The protesters waved signs and played drums. They planned on marching toward Trump Tower, the Fifth Avenue skyscraper near Columbus Circle where Trump lives.
Some protesters at the event told 1010 WINS’ Samantha Liebman that they couldn’t believe Trump has come this far in the election, and that they believe his rhetoric is divisive and racist.
“We’re here because Donald Trump is the antithesis of what America stands for,” one Westchester man said.
“We gotta make sure we get out and vote and make sure our voices are heard,” another protester from Manhattan said.
One sign read “Love Trumps Hate.” Another read, “Will trade 1 Donald Trump for 25,000 refugees.”
There were some Trump supporters at the rally that were heckled, but the protest remained peaceful, Liebman reported.
The protest was organized by political group Cosmopolitan Antifascists.
“Trump’s policies threaten many of us in the Black, Latino, LGBTQIA+, Muslim, and other communities,” the group said in a Facebook post for the planned protest. “These policies and type of speech has no place in this country, and certainly does not have a place in the city that Trump grew his empire in–a city known as a melting pot and home for many of the same people Trump continues to wage war on.

Ted Cruz Conservatives vs Donald Trump Conservatives
the saddest thing about it, is the Trump supporters are claiming what he is saying needs to be said
Well, Cruz said them all along, Trump only says these things in the last 10 months.
His argument is not about righteousness, but in might.
THAT is a hard tyranny. He is using anger that he helped create by funding all the lunatic leftists and RINOS he could, and now claims he is one of the people.
He was never one of the people, and he never will be.
Stop being fooled as if his rhetoric is good news!
Your post is insulting beyond measure!
But why am I surprised...
...this is typical Cruz speak.....
....demonize good Chritians who happen to support another candidate.....NOT YOURS!
*shakes head* Who dreams this sh*t up?
I agree, that post is over the top..
I fear I am having a female Laz moment........beer hat boy is cute in a drunken spring break kind of way. So all Cruz supporters are half nude & praying over chairs & Trump supporters are Bud light box wearing, half naked Yahoo’s???!
Your post would be offensive, but it lacks the wit. It’s more like.....okay.........roll on......
more free publicity for Trump!
Well; they’ve gotta make the “demonstrations” sound like
they’re gonna be YUGE! & SERIES! so the tagalongs will
think they’ve just gotta be there or else they’ll miss
out.
What IS “ululating”? Sounds obscene.
Stay the course!
Just one. Do you really believe that pathetic BS you put out?
If so, you poor, pathetic soul!
I am going to stay on this site just to listen to the apologies once he’s won and showed he is really just a liberal like people have been saying
so I can just hear you all whine about how you were fooled
EXCELLENT post!!!
