CLEVELAND, OH — Outspoken protesters swarmed the Republican National Convention. Liberal and conservative, pro-Trump and anti-Trump, angry Christians and street preachers, they held nothing back.
There is PJ Media’s list of 21 outrageous characters at the RNC, from both sides of the aisle and both sides of sanity. Enjoy!
