Between 650 and 700 protesters turned out for Saturday’s “No Kings Day” protest in Boerne, chanting, waving signs and cheering the frequent horn honks of motorists driving by the protesters’ position on Main Street.
“This has far exceeded expectations,” said rally coordinator Peg Layton. “We thought we might get 300 here. But we have given out 500 stickers and we know we’re about 100 short, so there’s probably at least 600 people here.”
Protesters lined Main Street in front of the Boerne City Hall building, with overflow crossing the street — mingling with about 30 Trump supporters who showed up to support the President, who turned 79 Saturday, the same day as Flag Day and the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army.
