Clinton thanks protesters ahead of womens march

Source: The Hill

Hillary Clinton on Saturday lavished praise on a massive march in Washington, thanking demonstrators for “marching for our values.”

Hundreds of thousands of protesters are set to take to the streets of Washington for the Women’s March on Washington to raise awareness of women’s rights and civil rights that they fear could be the target of repressive policies under the Trump administration.

Clinton, the first woman to win a major U.S. political party’s presidential nomination, fought bitterly with newly inaugurated President Trump throughout the 2016 general election.

Trump has been widely criticized for his disparaging remarks about women, including comments made during a taping of “Access Hollywood” in 2005, in which Trump could be heard saying that his celebrity status allowed him to kiss and grope women without their permission.

I think it is often underestimated the courage needed for women to run. Even after Trump won, many attendees continued to chant Lock Her Up," when she took the stage.

Trump Supporters Chant ‘Lock Her Up’ When Hillary Clinton Announced At Inauguration

WASHINGTON (CBS/AP) — Some Donald Trump supporters chanted “Lock her up” when Hillary Clinton was announced on the inauguration stage Friday.

The chant was popular among supporters during Trump’s campaign. During one presidential debate, Trump even suggested Clinton should be in jail over her email controversy while secretary of state.

Putin's Poodle brigade are, they can't even be gracious when their role model is at his own swearing in. All of them are: ill-mannered, bad-mannered, impolite, discourteous, uncivil, ill-behaved, unmannerly, & mannerless.

These assholes haven't figured out that this guy is a bigger lawbreaker than even Nixon.

Grotesque to witness, but so uniform from red to red to red, when you come across them. You quickly begin to understand that they've been programmed to accept the dehumanizing of certain people as normal social banter.

I've alienated all of them. Twisted brainwashed red drones.
