‘Lock Donald Trump Up’, ‘F*** you, traitor.’: Protesters yells in these viral videos
Protesters lined the streets of Philadelphia on Friday as former President Donald Trump arrived to speak at a conference hosted by the conservative group Moms for Liberty. The group has been criticized for its views on race and gender, and for its attempts to silence and harass teachers.
Trump was among several leading Republicans in attendance, including Florida Governor Ron DeSantis and former South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley, who are running against the former president in the 2024 GOP presidential primary.
The protesters held signs and chanted “Lock him up” as Trump’s motorcade drove to the summit. In one clip, a protester with a megaphone is heard yelling, “F*** you, traitor.”
Trump praised the recent U.S. Supreme Court decisions on issues of affirmative action and student loan forgiveness, and spoke about keeping issues like critical race theory and gender ideology out of schools. He also spent time dismissing the federal felony charges and investigations that he faces as “totally corrupt.”
Moms for Liberty has been deemed by civil rights groups like Southern Poverty Law Center as an “anti-government extremist group,” and received intense backlash last week after one of its chapters, in Hamilton County, Indiana, included a quote from Adolf Hitler in its newsletter. The group apologized soon afterward and published a revision, minus the Nazi leader’s words.
Prior to the event Friday, the American Historical Association urged Philadelphia’s Museum of the American Revolution to “reconsider” renting event space for the Moms for Liberty’s summit, writing in a letter that the group “has crossed a boundary in its attempts to silence and harass teachers, rather than participate in legitimate controversy.”
The protests in Philadelphia were a reminder of the deep divisions in the country over issues of race, gender, and education. The event also highlighted the growing influence of Moms for Liberty, a group that is determined to reshape the debate over these issues.
