Protestors Slam Peter King, President Trump's ‘Muslim Ban’ & Proposed Wall

Protestors Slam Peter King, President Trump's ‘Muslim Ban’ & Proposed Wall:

I saw this protest as I got off the train tonight. A very impressive demonstration, certainly over a thousand people filling the block in front of Peter King's District Office. About 20 pro-Trump people stood in opposition.

I was VERY surprised to hear how boisterous the protesters were. In this district on Long Island, it is completely Trumpland. Likely, many of the protestors were from out of the area.

Peter King, always vile and anti-Muslim, is rock solid in this district. Long Island is a hotbed of the worst strains of xenophobic Republicanism.

Still, nice to see a big protest against King on his home turf. Who'da thunk it?
