The Corsair Reports on Trump Counter-Protest to Women's March DTLA

The Corsair, an online news site I have never heard of, approached Los Angeles County for Trump as they were counter-protesting the Women's March in Downtown Los Angeles.

They interviewed some of us, and they printed the following report.

Here is one section of the article, which sets the tone for the article:

On Saturday, Jan. 20, 2018, a day ahead of the one year anniversary of The Women’s March on Washington, thousands of Angelenos gathered at Pershing Square to voice their concerns regarding a multitude of political issues centered around human rights, gender equality, and racial discrimination. Participants showed up with family and friends in tow, carrying signs inscribed with their messages. Among them four key issues dominate the landscape-- #metoo, #timesup, Deferred Action for Childhood.

The article showed some reasonable balance, actually. 

Here's one segment which featured my remarks at the event:

One of the Trump supporters, Arthur Schaper, attended the event to counter-protest the march, “I’m here celebrating our president, counter-protesting this ridiculous women’s march.” When asked about the issue of sexual assault in The United States of America, Schaper responded by stating, “President Trump has helped to highlight this issue in fact.” Between yelling at the march attendees, he then continued to say, “I can’t think of a president who has been more pro-women than Donald Trump has.”
