An Anti Trump Rally Was Held Saturday In Bath

There were No Kings events in Bath Horseheads and Wellsville over the weekend.   Dozens of protesters stood on the street near Pulteney Park in Bath on Saturday, holding signs up that said things like “Tax the Rich” and “No kings” and “Hey Canada We Hate Him Too”.  They were also chanting “No King, No Crown, We the People Won’t Back Down."  The No Kings event for Bath, had originally been scheduled to take place inside the park, but Mayor Michael Sweet put out a statement on social media, saying that the event organizers had not gotten permission from the village board.
