About 150 show up to protest Trump appearance in Michigan

BIRCH RUN, MI — Echoes of chants like "Dump Trump" and "Leave our state, Mr. Hate" can be heard along Beyer Street leading to the entrance of the Birch Run Expo Center.

Chanting protesters with colorful signs lined the street leading to the event center at 11600 N. Beyer on Tuesday, Aug. 11, to show their disdain of Donald Trump, the current GOP frontrunner.

"The point is that they're able to sell out an arena and have Trump spew this hate just to raise a few dollars," said Brandon Dillon, chair of the Michigan Democratic Party. "Our party's candidates are about issues, not attacks."
