Activists Protest Trump At DC Restaurant, Call Him 'Hitler Of Our Time'

A group of activists from CodePink, an anti-war group, protested President Donald Trump while he was dining at a seafood restaurant in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, per a video shared by the organization.

Demonstrators called out Trump’s foreign policy stances and use of the National Guard in D.C., yelling chants of “Trump is the Hitler of our time. Free D.C.! Free Palestine!”

Activists first confronted Trump as he entered the restaurant’s dining room, and kept up their chants as he approached his table. “He’s terrorizing communities in D.C. He’s terrorizing Gaza and communities all over the world,” one protester said.

A group of women yelling these statements was seen exiting the restaurant around 7:40 p.m. Eastern and escorted across the street by law enforcement, according to a White House pool report. Trump’s Tuesday dinner at Joe’s Seafood is the first he’s had at a D.C. restaurant since getting sworn in this January, CNN reports.

Good for the people of DC making it impossible for the Tangerine Toddler to go out in peace.

They aren't Pro-Palestinian protesters -- they're ANTI-WAR protesters!
Words matter, especially when you're putting labels on people.

For all the neo Nazis infesting our country.

I can't believe we fought a war to exterminate these Nazis and stop them from destroying the world. And now they are crawling all over our federal government.

My father who fought in World War II always said the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi. I guess Americans fighting and dying in that war was for a mere pause in Nazi psychotic destruction.

Are facing arrest, disappearing, assault, torture, prison and death. I salute their courage.
Anti-felon leadership keep telling us not to engage, not to escalate, so we stay safe. This action is what we have for now.
Every time there is a protest, a rally, a march, people see the action and hopefully a few more people understand why protestors are protesting and come to our side.
I saw a post the other day about different levels of protest. No matter how we show our resistance, we are also showing we aren't going along with the abhorrent actions of the criminals. That's a lot.

Now's not the time to worry about MAGA getting all chest-thumpy and dismissive.

What use to work then no longer works now. It will never give definitive results. Sorry, time to resort because nothing else works.
