It’s getting messy in NYC.
According to a report from The New York Post, the situation is turning tense outside the courthouse where former President and 2024 candidate Donald Trump is being arraigned for alleged improper business practices.
From The New York Post:
A Trump backer dared anyone to “touch” her MAGA hat in the packed, hectic scrum of supporters of the ex-president, counter-protesters and the media around 10 a.m.
NYPD cops yelled at some of the protesters to calm down as members of the opposing groups pushed and screamed their way through the crowd of hundreds.
NYPD Community Affairs officers were pulling anti-Trump protesters from the pro-Trump area, returning them to the side of Collect Pond Park designated for them, trying to keep the two sides separate as they rushed to remove people the moment they heard an argument.
Maverick Stow of Long Island told The Post that the police were actively discouraging protesters from being in the area.
