Protests planned across US on Presidents Day in response to Trump's national emergency for border wall

By Aris Folley - 02/16/19 06:33 PM EST

Protesters have planned demonstrations across the U.S. for Presidents Day in response to President Trump’s decision to declare a national emergency for border wall funding.

USA Today reports a wave of protests have been planned from New York to California and Texas to oppose the president’s national emergency declaration.

A number of demonstrations are being planned by the liberal advocacy group, MoveOn.org, and others have been listed on Rally List.

“Donald Trump has declared a #FakeNationalEmergency—an illegal power grab from an unhinged man to push his racist, dangerous policies,” MoveOn.org states on its site for protests taking place on Presidents Day.

"We're mobilizing rapid-response events on Presidents Day—Monday, 2/18—against Trump's fake crisis and racist deportation force and to stand with immigrant, Muslim, and Black and brown communities to stop Trump's dangerous and illegal power grab," the group continues.

The site also allows users to input a zip code or city to find the nearest protest to attend on Monday.

It’s not “President’s Day” - it’s GEORGE WASHINGTON’S BIRTHDAY! Dammit.

If there are protesters, there should be counter-protesters.

I think George Washington’s birthday was actually the 22nd before they messed it up, right? Lincoln’s birthday was the 12th in our history, wasn’t it?

And we can’t manage to lock up the agitator and instigator of moveon.org? A shame! A shame for America for sure! He shouldn’t even be allowed to live in this country!

What is fake about the thousands of murders of US citizens by illegal aliens?

What is fake about violent MS-13 gang rapes, robberies, and murders?

What is fake about the diseases being brought into the USA by illegal aliens--drug resistant TB, STDs, polio-like virus, cholera, and more.

What is fake about the drug crisis?

What is fake about the cost to taxpayers for the care and feeding of illegal aliens?

The people carrying out the protests are the real fakers. The are totally consumed by blind, irrational hate for Donald Trump.

It’s coming and it won’t be pretty. These commies and their comrades in the Congress and media are nothing less than treasonous subversives.

President Trump needs to change “President’s Day” back to George Washington's Birthday.

Ask a Democrat how much does it cost per year for the welfare, housing, food, clothing, education, medical, courts, and prisons for all the illegal immigrants in the country? Ask them who is paying for this and the carrying costs for the debt this is adding?
