STORMY DANIELS' LAWYER MICHAEL AVENATTI AND ACTRESS ALYSSA MILANO LEAD PROTEST IN FRONT OF WHITE HOUSE
.
For the second night in a row, protesters gathered in front of
the White House on
Tuesday, this time joined by Stormy Daniels' lawyer Michael Avenatti and
actress Alyssa Milano, who delivered speeches regarding President Donald
Trump’s relationship with Russia and
more.
The
#OccupyLafayettePark protest comes as a response to Trump’s apparent defense of
Vladimir Putin at the Trump-Putin summit on Monday. Last Friday, 12 Russian
intelligence individuals were charged in the ongoing Robert Mueller
investigation.
"President
Putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today," Trump said
at the summit.
On
Tuesday, Trump explained that he misspoke during Monday's joint presser with
Putin and meant to say there was no reason "it wouldn't be Russia"
behind election meddling.
"I
said the word would instead of wouldn't...I think that probably clarifies
things pretty good by itself," Trump stated.
Before
Avenatti’s arrival at the protest Tuesday night, many at the rally held signs
with phrases such as, "If you’re not outraged, you’re not paying
attention," while others called for impeachment. Moreover, a woman beat
her drum in rhythm to the chants being made such as "Putin’s puppet is a
dummy" and "Impeach 45."
"
In
Avenatti’s speech, the attorney touched on his disapproval of the events that
took place during the summit, stating that Trump had "acknowledged
Vladimir Putin as the real President of the United States."
"I,
like so many of you, hoped back then that the office would change the
man," Avenatti said. "Now I know that it is the man that has changed
the office."
"
Actress Alyssa Milano also made an appearance
at the protest to stress the importance of participating in the November
midterm elections -- a frequent theme throughout the night. The
"Charmed" actress closed her speech with a chant: "Human
microphone. Repeat after me! I believe that we will win!"
