Columbia -A Saturday rally at the SC State House drew an estimated 1,000-plus protesters denouncing policies and actions of President Donald Trump.

Saturday’s “No Kings” signs denouncing President Donald Trump came in all shapes, sizes and colors. In blue, red and yellow ink, they said things like “Honk if your dog is smarter than Trump” and “No Kings No War” and “I Love America” and “Resist” and “Vote” and “No Blood for Oil.”

Held by hundreds of people, the signs were the most colorful part of a crowd estimated at more than 1,000 that showed up at the SC State House in downtown Columbia on Saturday. The people — white, Black, young and old — stood, sat on grass and on folding chairs they had brought. They flanked Gervais Street and held their signs at passing cars.Many cars honked in agreement with the protesters.

Speakers included officials from the S.C. League of Women Voters, the ACLU, a high school student from Charleston and candidate for governor Rep. Jermaine Johnson, D-Richland.

Lynn Teague, a vice president of the S.C. League of Women Voters who spoke to the crowd and urged them to vote, said afterwards that “today’s rally was successful in informing and energizing people who care about our state and nation. “It’s always important for people to understand that they are not alone in their fight to improve our state and country.”
