New York Daily News: President
Trump pumped his fist in the air as the crowd booed and cheered him
when he arrived Saturday night at an Ultimate Fighting Championship
event at Madison Square Garden.
It
was a friendlier reception than the boos and “lock him up” chants Trump
received at the World Series last Sunday in Washington. No one could be
heard chanting at Trump at the Garden, said a White House reporter at
the scene.
Trump was invited to the event by UFC’s president, Dana White, the White House said. White is a big Trump donor.
With
Trump were House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.), Rep. Mark
Meadows (R-N.C.) and Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.). Trump’s sons Eric and Don
Jr. were also in the group . . .
Two
groups of about 150 anti-Trump protesters — from groups called Refuse
Fascism and Rise and Resist — massed in front of the Garden’s main
entrance on Seventh Ave.
“People
are feeling helpless, like they have no power ... We are trying to
avert an existential threat,” said Jane Aptaker of Harlem, who was
protesting with Refuse Fascism.
