\u201cHey, hey, let\u2019s be clear, no racists are welcome here!\u201d a crowd chanted across the street from the Langham Hotel in Boston\u2019s Financial District this morning to protest Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, who reportedly was visiting the building for a campaign fundraiser today.<\/p>\n

About 100 people gathered to oppose Trump, shouting, \u201cKeep your wall, keep your hate, U.S.A. is already great!\u201d and \u201cDonald Trump is a fraud! He sends his jobs abroad!\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\u201cHow<\/a>
\u201cHow dare he say he wants to make American great again,\u201d Boston City Councilor Ayanna Pressley said, \u201cwhen he wants to vilify the people who built it.\u201d At protest of Donald Trump at Langham Hotel in Boston, June 29, 2016. (Greg Cook)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

They held signs and wore clothing indicating they represented Local 888 of the Service Employees International Union (SEIU), Massachusetts Sierra Club, teachers, Black Lives Matter and socialists. They were joined by Boston City Councilor Ayanna Pressley and Congressman Michael Capuano of Massachusetts, who both spoke.<\/p>\n

A similar anti-Trump protest was held<\/a> when the candidate was scheduled to hold a Boston fundraiser on June 13, but turned out much smaller in size after Trump reportedly canceled that day\u2019s Boston event.<\/p>\n

\"\u201cThis<\/a>
\u201cThis is our country,\u201d Congressman Michael Capuano of Massachusetts said, \u201cand there is no way we\u2019re going to let him take it in the direction he wants to go.\u201d At protest of Donald Trump at Langham Hotel in Boston, June 29, 2016. (Greg Cook)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s no way Trump can be racist because he\u2019s from New York,\u201d said a man in a white Trump hat who said he was \u201can immigrant myself.\u201d He went on, \u201cI think he\u2019s a man who tells it like it is and people don\u2019t like it sometimes.\u201d (Greg Cook)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
