Hundreds Rally At Anti-Trump Protest In Manhattan
CBS New York ^ | 19 March 16 | Staff

Posted on 03/19/2016 1:01:43 PM PDT by SkyPilot

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.

I see the depraved are expanding their alphabet.

So basically, we have all the enemies of America, the enemies of God, and the enemies of the Law allied together under Soros and Obama.

Yesterday they were talking about thousands of demonstrators showing up. And reality turned out to be only a few hundred?

Wait, I don’t care. Sorry to bother you.

I doubt there were even “hundreds”. The close up shot of the crowd disguises its real size but it looks like maybe 50 at the most. They were all paid to be there. This was not a rally or protest. This was a small group of professional operatives standing around and spewing hatred.

Protesting is such fun-—the majority of these brainless idiots dont even know what they protest against. dumb sheeples to the slaughter.

Maybe if we added a couple of vowels, it could be a ghetto name. Like Lequitha.

How about LiGBeTiQuIA+?

A parade of leeches who take money and joy out of everything they touch.

The anger has to stem from the fact that they know (deep down inside) that they offer nothing and that the world would have been a better place if they weren't born.

These people are really Pro-Trump.

Without Donald Trump's coat tails they wouldn't be getting the media coverage they need to raise money & volunteers.

Donald Trump is so good for them,
they should pay him....

There were 24 protesters counted, perhaps more were in hiding. They are, of course, precisely what America stands for. Not.
