Hundreds demonstrate in Laguna Beach to demand that Trump release his taxes
Source: OC Register
About 500 people rallied in Laguna Beach on Saturday to demand that President Trump release his tax returns.
The Laguna Beach Democratic Club is hosting Orange Countys sole protest, joining movements in Long Beach, Los Angeles and Riverside. Presidents have made their tax returns public for the past 40 years.
Protesters lined two blocks of Pacific Coast Highway by Main Beach, holding homemade signs and chanting Lock him up! and Dump Trump!
More than 50 drivers honked in support, with one slowing down to raise an Impeach sign from his sunroof.

Surprising demonstration in Republican stronghold Orange County.

(2,037 posts)As those who live or have lived in Orange County for a while know, Laguna has always been a liberal (or at least, moderate) haven in otherwise far-right, almost-genocidally racist South orange County (North OC is very different - a lot more like L.A. County).
I have fond memories of the Thursday Peace Protests on Main Beach on the eve of Bush's invasion of Iraq. They were well-attended, very vocal, and got quite a few horn honks - as well as spies.
Good to see Laguna hasn't lost that progressive spirit.
