LADY GAGA PROTEST

Lady Gaga took a stand outside Trump Tower in Manhattan early Wednesday morning following Donald Trump’s victory over Hillary Clinton.

The musician and actress stood on a truck stationed in front of the building, holding a sign that read “Love trumps hate.”

“I want to live in a #CountryOfKindness where #LoveTrumpsHate,” she tweeted.

A few hours before she stood in front of the Tower, Gaga posted a picture with activist DeRay Mckesson. “In a room full of hope, we will be heard. @deray #blacklivesmatter Stand up for kindness, equality, and love. ? Nothing will stop us,” she wrote.

Earlier this week in Raleigh, N.C., Lady Gaga performed with Bon Jovi. There, she told the crowd of Clinton supporters, “No matter how absurd and mean he became, she smiled bravely.”
