Activsts Protest Trump’s Arrival in Prince William County

Donald Trump spoke at a rally in Beaumont, Texas reference refugees saying "We all have heart and we all want people taken care of, but with the problems our country has, to take in 250,000 -- some of whom are going to have problems, big problems -- is just insane. We have to be insane. Terrible." Trump followed up his comments Monday in an interview with CNBC where he described the idea of the U.S. accepting Syrian refugees as one of the "great Trojan horses."

MANASSAS — (WMAL) Activists are protesting outside the Prince William County Fairgrounds in anticipation of tonight’s Donald Trump rally.

Members of CASA in Action, NARAL Pro-Choice Virginia and other groups are picketing outside the venue, demanding that Trump leave the county.

Kim Propeak, with CASA in Action, said that Trump made a career out of attacking communities of color.

“Two-fifths of the county are African-American or Latino,” Propeak said, “Thirty percent speak a language other than English in the household.”

Trump’s rally will begin at 7 p.m. with doors set to open at 5 p.m.

Tickets are required to attend, but they are free and available online.
