A bevy of celebrities on Thursday
attended a massive protest against President-elect Donald Trump.
Trump is to be sworn in as the 45th
president of the United States on Friday.
Stars who participated in the “We
Stand United” rally outside Trump Tower included Alec Baldwin,
Julianne Moore, Cher, Mark Ruffalo, Shailene Woodley, Marissa Tomei,
Robert De Niro, Sally Field, Rosie Perez, Michael Moore, Cynthia
Nixon, and NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio.
Baldwin, whose portrayal of Trump on
Saturday Night Live has angered the president-elect, appeared
in character.
“I just want to say I’ve been
standing out here in the freezing cold for a long time,” Baldwin,
as Trump, complained. “I have to go to the bathroom, I have to pee.
But I’m holding it in. I’m not going to pee. I’m going to a
function at the Russian consulate tonight. I’m going to hold it in
until I get there. And then when I get to the Russian consulate, I’m
going to have a really, really long pee.”
Cher, a vocal opponent of Trump, told
the crowd that they could “stop this.”
“You can stop this. I know you can
stop this, because the power of the people is bigger than those
assholes that are there in Washington,” she told the crowd, who
cheered.
