Protesters great Trump in Topeka, Kansas


By SJ Otto
A lot has been said about Republicans being angry at the way the Democrats treated Judge Brett Kavanaugh this week before he was voted in to the Supreme Court, but  there are plenty of Democrats who are angry at the way the Republicans have treated women abuse victims from those hearings.
We saw that this Saturday, as anti-Kavanaugh forces protested Donald Trump and his ilk at the Kansas Expocentre in Topeka, KS.
President Donald Trump was in Kansas Saturday night, rallying for Governor hopeful Kris Kobach. 
The Kansas Expocentre in Topeka was filled with supporters at the Make America Great Again Rally. President Trump's 2020 campaign team says there were about 11,000 people in attendance. There were maybe 1,000 protesters outside in the rain that night, caring signs and marching outside the front of the Expocentre.
There were lots of signs at the event, including some women who chanted Trump, Kobach go away, racist, sexist anti-gay.
A protester from Lawrence, Jenna Groth, was there with two people.
"I think Trump is dishonest," she said. "He appeals to people who hate. Kris Kobach wants to suppress the vote."
The protesters had to brave cold temperatures, damp and sometimes rainy weather.

Some protesters compared Trump to Hitler.
Some people from the far-right tried to argue with protesters. They got shouted down.
