A rally for Hillary Clinton in Los Angeles on Thursday looked more like an event for Donald Trump, with large numbers of protesters interrupting the rally itself. The rally for Cinco de Mayo, the Mexican holiday celebrating an important win by Mexican forces against France during the Franco-Mexican War in 1862, was held as a Hispanic outreach event.
ABC reports that hundreds of protesters came to the rally at East Los Angeles College to protest against Clinton. The reasons ran the gauntlet, ranging from issues of trust, accusations of pandering to Hispanics, Wall Street ties and involvement in the 2009 coup in Honduras. Some of the protesters were holding signs for Clinton's primary rival, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I., Vt.). Other protesters held signs with photos of Clinton attending Donald Trump's wedding in 2005 and slogans such as, "Release the Transcripts" and "Welcome to LA Where Hispandering to Chicanos Doesn't Work!!!"
A couple of protesters made their way into the rally where they interrupted her and had to be escorted out by police.
At the end of the rally, protesters lined up along both sides of the walkway out of the arena as Clinton supporters left the arena.
ABC also reported that the Los Angeles Police Department was there with officers on horseback blocking the crowd and had helicopters flying overhead.
