Trump supporters and anti-Trump demonstrators clashed Friday afternoon during a rally outside Rep. Katie Porter's office in Irvine.
In a scene that illustrated Orange County’s recent swing from red to blue, demonstrators divided over the House impeachment inquiry gathered Friday outside of a congressional field office in Irvine.
Each side drew about 40 demonstrators. Those on the Trump side held American and “Trump 2020" flags, and signs that read “In God and Trump we trust” and “Democrats for Trump.”Trump Victory, a fundraising group, organized the rally in an effort to put pressure on freshmen members of Congress from Orange County who supported the impeachment investigation.
Doug Ose, a former congressman and 2016 California Trump chairman, said the Democrats singled out by the demonstrators had all promised bipartisanship during their campaigns. He argued that their support for the impeachment proceedings conflicted with those pledges.Meanwhile, across the street, anti-Trump demonstrators chanted over megaphones: “Hey hey, ho ho, Donald Trump has got to go.”
