Anti-Trump Protests in US Enter 5th Straight Day
连续第五天抗议特朗普当选总统
WASHINGTON — Anti-Donald Trump protesters marching for a fifth straight day
were energized Sunday by the president elect's announcement that he will deport
as many as 3 million undocumented immigrants from the United States, with
perhaps more to come.
One demonstrator in New York City told CNN: "They're here to stay and we
stand in solidarity with them. People don't know what will happen and they're
very scared."
Others filled the streets again Sunday in other cities including Los
Angeles, San Francisco and Philadelphia. One group is planning a huge Million
Woman March in Washington on January 21, the day after Trump is inaugurated.
His crude comments about women during the campaign, along with allegations
from some women that Trump inappropriately molested them, are among the issues
that have infuriated the protesters.
Many also decry remarks made against Muslims; others fear Trump will tear
up environmental protection regulations and appoint Supreme Court justices who
will overturn laws protecting gays and abortion rights.
Many of the protesters say they will keep marching right up until Trump's
inauguration.
Former Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton has said Trump
deserves people to treat him with an open mind.
Close Trump aide and former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani called on Clinton
Sunday to address the protesters and say they are exaggerating their fears of
Trump.
Saturday
"Bridges, not walls," protesters chanted late Saturday outside Trump
International Hotel in Washington, referencing President-elect Donald Trump's
promise to build a wall along the southern U.S. border to bar Mexicans — who
Trump has described as "criminals" and "rapists" — from entering the
country.
On a fourth night of demonstrations around the country since Trump won last
Tuesday's election, demonstrators held a candlelight vigil in front of the White
House on Saturday evening before marching down Pennsylvania Avenue to the hotel
where they blocked traffic and belted out other chants, including "We reject the
president-elect."
Protesters also took to the streets and parks across other parts of the
U.S. Saturday, with more than 2,000 people marching from Union Square in
Manhattan to Trump Tower, home of the president-elect and where he was meeting
with his transition team.
Thousands of protesters marched in other major cities like Los Angeles and
Chicago. |
