Images From Around the Nation During Last Nights #ProtectMueller Protests
Never before in America have we seen protests erupt as wide spread and as rapidly as we did yesterday afternoon. In approximately 900 cities across this nation, protestors gathered in a show of unity towards special counsel Robert Mueller and against the apparent effort by President Trump to limit his Russia investigation.
The protests were sparked when Trump forced the resignation of Attorney General Jeff Sessions, replacing him with a man named Matthew Whitaker. This effectively pushed Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein out of the position to oversee the Mueller probe while Whitaker takes over.
Within hours of Sessions’ resignation letter, the Moveon.org “Nobody is Above the Law, Mueller Firing Rapid Response” page told hundreds of thousands of Americans to meet at 900 + locations across the nation to commence a protest against these actions. Below you will find some of the images and video taken late yesterday afternoon at these protests across the nation:
