PROVIDENCE – "Several hundred anti-President Donald Trump demonstrators, responding to an online call for protests at the capitals in all 50 states at noon on Wednesday, marched around the Rhode Island State House chanting 'Hey hey, ho, ho, Elon Musk has got to go.'

"Similar chants went up at other rallies on Wednesday, including New York where protestors chanted '#DeportElon!' and Georgia, where protesters carried signs with messages like '#StopMusksSteal' and '#NoKingsInTheUSA.'"

One protestor said:
"They hate the Black people. They hate the Mexican people. They hate trans people. They hate women. They hate everything that is not white male and Republican. This is a country of people. We are all different. Thank God," she said, urging the crowd to "keep the pressure on ... get involved with a local organization."

"I know that we're all overwhelmed," she said. "They want you to pay attention to the breaking news because they know that it incapacitates you. It gets you worried. It gets you silent and that is not acceptable at this time. This is our country."
