4. SOUNDBITE (English) Carol Skrivanic, protester:
“My hope for the future is that there will be enough negativity against this administration that somebody, or hopefully all of us, will make a difference. The incompetence, the greed, the grift, the corruption is totally frightening.”

If you believed his lies, you were watching the wrong channel. You were watching the wrong channel. You should have woke up and educated yourself. This guy lies. He’s been lying for his whole life.’ It’s very disgusting what’s happened here, and this is the pushback he’s gonna get."
