While thousands of Donald Trump supporters waited in long lines outside Walker’s DeltaPlex, there were dozens protesting the GOP Presidential candidate.
“It’s just a big, giant vinyl banner that says dump Trump.”
One of more than a dozen signs protesting GOP Presidential candidate Donald Trump’s visit to West Michigan.
“Hey Donald! Viva los Mexicanos-Americanos.”
That’s the message printed on Margaret Castillo’s poster board.
The 17-year of Mexican descent takes offense to Trump’s immigration strategy to build a wall along the U.S.-Mexican border.
“He said that Mexican immigrants are rapists and my dad is not a rapist. He is a father to me and I know that that stands for so many other people who come here. They don’t come here to harm anybody. They come here to get a good chance and life in the Land of Opportunity. It’s why we’re all here.”
“Hate is not a part of making America great.”
Read the words scrawled on 20-year old Andrew Geer’s sign.
“He’s definitely an entertainer. I don’t think he has any business being in politics.”
“He’s riling up lots of racist and bigoted messages and he’s playing as a non-establishment candidate and there are lots of better choices out there that don’t spew the hate. He wants to make America great again and make people respect us. But this kind of talk that’s coming from him and from his base is not the way to get that respect.”
