Dubbed the “State of the Swamp: The Rebuttal to the State of the Union,” this so-called “counter-event” featured a brigade of protesters dressed in inflatable frog costumes taking center stage.
Organized by DEFIANCE.org, the Portland Frog Brigade, and COURIER Newsroom, the event was billed as a “live rebuttal” to Trump’s speech.
Attendees were encouraged to wear green attire or full frog suits as a symbol of “peaceful defiance.”
Attendees include Robert De Niro and Mark Ruffalo, as well as failed gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams, disgraced CNN host Don Lemon, and radical mayors like Chicago’s Brandon Johnson and Minneapolis’ Jacob Frey.
It looked as ridiculous as you would expect.
