Anti-Trump protesters demand answers from Malliotakis
Bay Ridge Democrats held a rally Jan. 9 to demand that U.S. Rep. Nicole Malliotakis support the removal of President Donald Trump.
A large crowd gathered outside the congressmember’s office on Third Avenue and 77th Street to protest her decision to vote against President-elect Joe Biden’s certification after an attack on the Capitol by pro-Trump rioters left five people dead.
“She voted to object on Wednesday after a mob that had been incited stormed the Capitol, and after five people died she continued to defend what she did,” said State Senator Diane Savino. “She had an obligation to people who were her voters that she could not make Donald Trump their president again and they needed to accept it.”
