Anti-Trump protesters at the Republican National Convention decried political violence of all kinds while condemning threats to democracy and the GOP agenda
Protesters with the Coalition to March on the RNC rally outside the Republican National Convention at the Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee on Sunday. MILWAUKEE — Thousands of protesters descended on this Midwestern city on Monday, denouncing the Republican Party and its presidential nominee Donald Trump, who had survived an assassination attempt less than 48 hours earlier.
Organizers were careful to call out political violence of all stripes, but otherwise they showed few changes in rhetoric.Freedom Road Socialist Organization told the crowd of protesters as they prepared to march toward the convention site. Christine Neumann-Ortiz, the head of Wisconsin’s largest immigrant rights group, Voces de la Frontera, said the country’s most vulnerable residents are still dealing with dangerous fallout from Trump’s first term in office.
Seiler, an American citizen originally from Trinidad, was wearing a shirt that read, “Stop Project 2025,” referring to the conservative playbook for a second Trump presidency. “There might be a bullet with your name on it today,” the man leading the calls yelled. “You might not be as blessed as Trump and dodge that bullet. It’s time to get right with God!”As the march passed, one protester called back: “It’s fun, you should try it!”
