Protesters Turn Trump’s Manhattan Arraignment Into an Absolute Circus
Ahead of Donald Trump’s historic arraignment on Tuesday, the area surrounding New York State Supreme Court had a distinctly circus-like atmosphere.
The entire scene felt more like a Juggalo convention than a coherent political protest, a bizarre miasma of conspiracies and “deep statism” peddled by MAGA-types protesting Trump’s prosecution.
The throng included a significant contingent of reporters and camera crews, counterprotesters picketing the MAGA crowd, and stand-up comedian Mark Normand trolling everyone in a fake police uniform. YouTuber and filmmaker Casey Neistat, who in 2016 sold Beme, a video-sharing app he created, to CNN for a reported $25 million, was on hand with a pole-mounted GoPro camera to cover the “fun,” he said.
