Demonstrators denounce Trump, march for #MeToo movement across the US

OAKLAND, Calif. (KGO) -- President Donald Trump has tweeted it's a "perfect day" for women to march to celebrate the "economic success and wealth creation" that's happened during his first year in office. But people participating in rallies and marches in the U.S. and around the world Saturday have denounced the Republican's views on immigration, abortion, LGBT rights, women's rights and more.
