Protest rallies in the US against Donald Trump's victories
The protesters were rallying against what they see as Trump's racist and misogynist rhetoric
Disappointed voters in New York City and Chicago marched into the night, denouncing the President-elect’s rhetoric on immigrants, Muslims and other minority groups, which had already kicked up a storm and made a sharp division among the electorate.
Reports of protests were also received from Oakland, Seattle, Pittsburgh, Austin, Philadelphia, Portland and several cities around the world.
According to Time, the demonstrations were mostly peaceful, but there were pockets of unrest.
In downtown Chicago, New York and Washington, D.C., crowds thronged outside Trump International Hotels.
In Chicago, protesters chanted: “No Trump! No KKK! No racist USA.”
NBC Washington reports that some protesters vandalized a number of sites in the capital and several arrests were made.
Outside the White House, people gathered for a peaceful candle-lit vigil, where they “chanted, sang and prayed.“
