Tens of thousands of people took to the streets nationwide on Saturday’s Tax Day to demand President Trump release his tax returns. Crowds gathered in more than a dozen cities from coast to coast, including Washington, D.C., New York City, Chicago and Seattle, and in South Florida, where activists marched to Trump’s private Mar-a-Lago resort, where Trump was staying over the weekend. Trump has refused to release his tax returns, becoming the first U.S. president in more than four decades to do so. This is comedian Sarah Silverman, speaking at the New York City protest.
Sarah Silverman: “We’re living in a time where honesty has no currency. And I think, because of that, it’s kind of all we have. And the only way to really penetrate this administration is to take to the streets and to be relentless.”
President Trump responded to the demonstrations, tweeting, “Someone should look into who paid for the small organized rallies yesterday. The election is over!”
