Protesters gathered outside of the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center on Sunday and encouraged onlookers to boo President Trump ahead of his appearance at the US Open after the USTA asked broadcasters not to focus on the expected jeers.
As hundreds of tennis fans poured out of the 7 train at Mets–Willets Point station, they were met by demonstrators from RefuseFascism.org, who brandished signs and asked them to jeer the president during his appearance at the men’s final between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner.
“Boo that motherf**ker,” one protester yelled.
…“Trump should be booed everywhere he goes, they are trying to silence the people’s rage,” protester Emma Kaplan said. “This is right on brand with Trump; he wants to censor free speech, he wants to jail his opponents. It shows why we need to drive him out of power.”
