Hillary Clinton cheers on anti-Trump climate march – Washington Examiner

Hillary Clinton continued a trend cheering on anti-Trump demonstrations on Saturday, tweeting out praise for the Peoples Climate March.

"Great to see ppl take to the streets & combat climate change, protect the next generation & fight for jobs & economic justice," she tweeted.

Clinton, who lost to President Trump in the 2016 election, has also sent out post-Inauguration shout outs to last week's March for Science, which organizers claim wasn't anti-Trump, and the Women's March right after the inauguration.

More than 150,000 people participated in the main event Saturday in Washington, D.C., according to organizers. The march coincides with Trump's 100th day and office, and participants aimed to send a clear message to the White House about their concerns about environmental policy under Trump.

"We're blown away by the numbers," said Paul Getsos, the Peoples Climate Movement national coordinator. "We like to say 'to change everything, we need everyone' and everyone is showing up. This movement for climate, jobs and justice will only grow stronger."

The group said the march "overflowed" the National Park Service permit space designed for 100,000 people. More than 350 sister marches took place around the U.S. and the rest of the world.

Participants included Vice President Al Gore and actor Leonardo DiCaprio, along with a number of Democrats who showed up in an effort to capitalize on the anti-Trump sentiment.
