Thousands of defiant New Yorkers filled President-elect Donald Trump’s backyard Thursday on the eve of his inauguration for a star-studded, full-throated statement of protest.
Joined by celebrities, government leaders and union organizers, angry protesters flooded Columbus Circle, Broadway and several blocks of Central Park West.
“There are those who are working to divide us,” said “Sex and the City” star Cynthia Nixon. “We are not going back. We’re not turning around.
“Yes we’ve had a setback. But we can see it as a setback or we can see it as a challenge. And where there is a challenge there is an opportunity to show that love, equality and unity can beat hatred and discrimination.”
Singer and actress Cher, who told the crowd she has lived through 12 Presidents, said protesters have to use their anger for good.
“The power of the people is bigger than those a-----es in Washington,” Cher said. “I tried not to have a potty mouth but that’s just me. You can change this. I promise.”
Demonstrators, led by filmmaker Michael Moore, Mark Ruffalo, Robert De Niro and Sally Field, crowded in front of Trump International Hotel and Tower to speak about a variety of issues including health care, labor rights, climate change and protection for immigrants, lesbians and gays.

But, but we want to be brought together. We must continue to compromise as was the norm in years past. Also we must be inclusive and be respectful to our LGBT brethren and cistern.
Easy to change Chair’s pottymouth. Shove a potty in it.
President Trump and his handsome wife Melania leave St. John’s church.
It’s nice to look at the FLOTUS and not flinch .....
Ask De Niro how many millions of tax payer’s dollars he’s received in Grants and loans towards his Tribeca Film Festival and to build his hotel and luxury lofts in NYC...

Let Hollywood fund it. Kiss those bucks bye bye.
I’ve enjoyed many of De Niro’s movies but I’ve watched my last one. Bye, Bob. Been nice knowing ya!
***Robert De Niro***
Wearing his Mohawk on an assassination run? Soon to be declared a “hero”?
“You talkin to me?”
Watch out when actors are in Washington town. Remember 1865 and Booth.
So it appears that Mr. DiNiro has already reversed his statement that he feels like the celebritards should give Trump a chance . . . I didn’t think he actually MEANT it.
These people are "entertainment whores". They have forgotten their place in society. I have not paid to see a movie since the first Pirates of the Caribbean came out over 15 years ago and I don't plan on funding any of these "useful idiots" ever again.
Robert has an undefinable intellect.
Has beens’ before and after their inane utterances.
‘Union Organizers’ are as phony and criminal a bunch as are ‘Community Organizers’.
What Chair has had in her mouth over her lifetime would haunt one forever.
