Republicans cannot stop whining about Rep. John Lewis daring to question the legitimacy of a president elected despite losing the popular vote and having assistance from a foreign government. Or about the director of the Office of Government Ethics daring to comment on Donald Trump’s ethical arrangements. Or about being reminded that Trump was questioning President Obama’s legitimacy on far flimsier grounds for years. But let’s hear it from the man himself, after Obama’s resounding 2012 win:
Four years later, the nation is deeply divided, with a historically unpopular president coming into office … and people are marching on Washington.
Women's March on Washington organizers said in applying for a demonstration permit that they expected 200,000 people.
Christopher Geldart, the District of Columbia's homeland security director, thinks the march will draw more than that. Some 1,800 buses have registered to park in the city on Jan. 21, which would mean nearly 100,000 people coming in just by bus, Geldart said. Amtrak trains into and out of the city are also fully booked on that day, Geldart said.
"Usually when I look at things like that, that tells me we've got a pretty substantial crowd coming in. That leads me to believe we're definitely above the 200,000-person mark," Geldart said.
Trump should be pleased, right? Even if it took them four years, people are taking his advice!
