Thousands of angry protesters have rallied in various cities across the US to demand Donald Trump’s impeachment, as Democrats in Congress prepare a bill to oust the president over his “mental health.”
In New York City, Trump’s hometown, people staged a so-called Impeachment March outside a Trump hotel and confronted outnumbered pro-Trump groups in a shouting match on Sunday, two days before the Independence Day.
In Los Angeles, California, the protesters carried a black coffin wrapped in red, white and blue flowers. It had the words “The Presidency 1789-2017” written on it.
Similar rallies were held in Austin, Texas, where people tussled with counter-protesters while chanting, “What do we want? Impeachment! When do we want it? Now!”
Texas saw another major protest in Amarillo, where the High Plains Circle of Non-Violence organized a “die-in” to express support for the “99% of Americans either victimized or exploited by the Trump Regime.”
