Protesters were out in Davenport and Cedar Rapids as Republican Presidential Candidate Donald Trump was scheduled to speak at both cities Thursday.
During the protest today in Cedar Rapids, anti-Trump contingent was getting some honks of support from drivers, but not everyone was thrilled with their presence. Trump supporters began a counter protest, starting a chant of "Lock Her Up" from across the street, which the protesters answered with their own chant of "Hate Will Not Make Us Great."
We will have a full story of his visit tonight to Cedar Rapids. Some of Trump's comments during his Davenport stop are in the video below.
Visit the Quad City-Times for full coverage of Trump's visit to Davenport.
