Thousands of protesters took part in the fourth annual Women’s March in the nation’s capital on Saturday, many wearing “Love Trumps Hate” buttons while spewing expletives about President Donald Trump and his administration.
Martin Luther King III spoke from the stage on Freedom Plaza and introduced his wife, Andrea Waters King, who spoke to a cheering crowd about love triumphing over hate on the eve of the holiday commemorating the late civil rights icon Martin Luther King Jr.
But protesters in the crowd sent a less congenial message, wearing “f—k Trump,” buttons and t-shirts, holding “Depose the King” signs and calling the president a liar and a criminal. Posters described Trump as excrement and the now infamous baby Trump balloons were plentiful.
The love theme of the protest shifted when a Hispanic group of women took the stage to reprise a Latin American protest song, “A Rapist in Your Path,” which has graphic lyrics accusing men of being rapists:
Lyrics to the song in English are:

Patri-archy is our judge
That imprisons us at birth
And our punishment
Is the violence you CAN see.
It’s femicide.
Impunity for my killer.
It’s our disappearances.
It’s rape!
And it’s not my fault, not where I was, not how I dressed.
And the rapist WAS you
And the rapist IS you
It’s the cops,It’s the judges,
It’s the system,
It’s the president.

The Guardian reported the Chilean protest song “about rape culture and victim shaming has become an anthem for feminists around the world.”
Saturday’s event was meant to shore up the Women’s March movement after controversy about antisemitism led to the resignation of three of its founders last year.
The Women’s March in September announced the departure of Tamika Mallory, Bob Bland, and Linda Sarsour.
