Robert De Niro, other stars lead thousands in NYC Trump protest

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.

Absolutely, and it's you and your anti-democratic, (mostly) anti-American crybaby friends, who keep having tantrums because you couldn't get your way. Assorted America-hating radicals, Cultural Marxists, race hustlers, statists, misfits, and criminals are being forced to take their boots off the throats of regular, every day Americans for a change, and they hate it.

This is the easiest and most fun lesson to teach your kids about leftists: projection, projection, projection. It's in their DNA.

So true. And the double helix is completed with intolerant bullying.

Did they car-pool in their stretch limos or did they all come with their own? Either way, you can bet that their limos were out of sight of the peons that they pretend to care so much about.

So NOW they realize that Obama has been trying to divide us? Oh, this stupid witch is obviously talking about the MSM that edited videos, took Trump's word out of context, tried to pin a "Muslim database" as Trump's idea, etc...

Unfortunately, we all know that these air-headed, script readers are trying to single out Trump like he has caused a divide in America...where the hell have these idiots been since 2008?!? RACE RIOTS in multiple cities throughout OBAMA'S PRESIDENCY!! Liberals trying to force people to accept grown men showering with underage girls because they "feel" like a woman!! Forcing social experiments on the Military - instead of re-enforcing our military!!

And these idiots think Trump is causing a "divide"?!? They are either complete IMBECILES or they have selective outrage! Either way, I don't listen to them, and THANK GOD, enough Americans didn't listen to them as well!!

A TOTAL boycott of the Leftists in the entertainment industry would help “drain the swamp” because they give millions to Democrats like Hillary. This bunch of overpaid Communists needs to be out on the streets looking for work.

"Union organizers?" HAHAHA!!! These knuckle-dragging thugs need to spend their time fighting The National Right to Work Committee and others who are absolutely kicking their asses in terms of promulgating RTW legislation. Kentucky now a RTW State. Missouri almost there as well as New Hampshire. Ohio trying the county by county approach.

So to the unions I say...Keep protesting something you can do nothing about.

Columbus Circle is very well served by the IRT, IND and BMT.
