Trump’s Favorite Protest: 100 Naked Ladies Protest Him

On Sunday, 100 women stood completely nude outside of the Republican National Convention holding giant round mirrors to send a message to Donald Trump. What that message was, nobody knows.

Artist Spencer Tunick prepared for the “protest” Sunday morning at around 7 a.m. on the shore of the Cuyahoga River, where he and his wife Kristen gathered the women in an empty lot between a fire station and a shipping warehouse. “We love you all! This is beautiful,” Tunick shouted as he took pictures for his upcoming art installation titled, “Everything She Says Means Everything.”

Esquire describes the scene this way:

Off to the side, more women stand wrapped in sheets and towels shifting from foot to foot and rubbing their hands together, surrounded by piles of bras, panties, T-shirts, shorts, and sundresses. Since Tunick put out his casting call for the event in May, 1,800 women signed up to participate. Women of all different ages, shapes and races came from as far away as Belgium and as close as down the street. Some are here to send a message to Donald Trump and others just wanted to take the opportunity to proudly show their bodies publicly.

“This is for you and this is for our future,” Tunick tells the women. “We will shine your light and power onto the RNC. We’re going to shine the light of women into this arena.”

When asked why they decided to bare all for The Donald, the women offered various reasons. Nineteen-year-old nursing student Monica Giorgio told the reporter, “Because of his negative views on women. I think this is a great way to contrast that.”

Sabrina Paskewitz, a 23-year-old student said, “For me, it’s less about Trump and more about creating positive energy around the RNC and to create light where there maybe isn’t as much.”

Darlene English, a 42-year-old mom, was concerned about her safety, apparently not realizing that political violence almost always comes from the Left.

“I told my husband this morning, ‘I hope I don’t get killed by protestors,” said English. “It was definitely a concern but I felt like this was a very important statement to make, especially with my kids. I’ve got a 7-year-old daughter, a 4-year-old boy and a 9-year-old boy and I wanted them to know that there are times when it’s important for them to stand up. I have the belief that [the GOP] is very anti-women, so I wanted to stand up and make a statement that it is unacceptable in 2016.”

Tunick himself fired up his naked subjects before snapping the first pic by telling them, “The Republican party has given an excuse to hate. We have daughters and we want them to grow up in a society where they have equal rights for women. The sun is coming up. Now, when I say three, let’s get naked!”
