Video posted to Twitter by ABC7NY reporter CeFaan Kim shows a sea of protesters at JFK with a message projected high above them in blue letters that read, “F*** YOUR WALL”. The protesters were chanting over and over, “F*** your wall! We’ll tear it down!”, in protest of Trump’s commitment to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.

“@migaldaco Who said I was filming? I wasn’t, I was minding my own business and had my hands in my pockets.”
Pool noted the difference in his treatment between Trump supporters and Trump protesters.

“Why is it that Trump supporters say “we don’t agree and that’s OK” and the Trump protesters say “I’m going to break your phone”
