Chaotic Protests Erupt at Trump Rally Outside NYC Courthouse.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene led a small protest in New York City ahead of former President Donald Trump’s arraignment, which drew a few dozen Trump supporters, counterprotesters, and curious New Yorkers. The sparse attendance by other elected Republicans highlighted the limitations of what members of the party might be willing to do for Trump, even though they’ve broadly lambasted the charges against him as politically motivated and unfounded. The lukewarm Republican response to Trump’s calls for protests indicates that many in the GOP are only willing to go so far, particularly as the specter of the January 6 insurrection continues to loom over the party.
