Whistleblower contingent runs in High Heel race, invokes "Lock Him Up"

Submitted by Anonymous on Wed, 10/30/2019 - 23:02

DC's annual High Heel Race took place on October 29, the last Tuesday before Halloween. One contingent was dressed in referee's uniforms, blew whistles, and chanted "Lock Him Up!" This was just two days after Donald Trump was jeered with the same chant at the World Series and nearly booed out of the stadium.

Trump Booed, Impeachment Banners Hung At World Series

Submitted by Luke on Mon, 10/28/2019 - 01:39

On the 27th of October, Donald Trump thought he could turn the 5th game of the World Series (Wash Nationals vs Houston Astros) into a campaign rally for himself. Instead, the whole ballpark erupted into a roaring chorus of boos as soon as he was shown on the jumbotron from his fancy suite. This escalated to chants of "lock him up!" and two separate banners calling for impeachment were set up.
