I arrived shortly after this. Counter protest basically turned into a street party that sequestered the original protestors into a very small area of the park…down the hill, the protest might as well have not been happening at all. Felt like a fever dream.

Rev. Mariann Edgar Budde to Trump: "I ask you to have mercy upon the people in our country who are scared now. There are gay, lesbian, and transgender people in Democratic, Republican, and independent families, some who fear for their lives ... and the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals"
