Supporters of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump cheer while waiting for the candidate at the Gallogly Event Center on the campus of the University of Colorado on July 29, 2016 in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The Trump rally came the day after Hillary Clinton accepted the Democratic nomination for president.
Protesters with signs that said “Trump and Putin Make Russia Great Again,” and “Trump Goes to Casa Bonita… For the Food,” stood Friday evening outside the Wings Over the Rockies Air and Space Museum.
The doors were supposed to open for general admittance at 4 p.m., but that was delayed. While rally attendees stood in a line that wrapped around the side of the building, protesters stood with their signs and chanted along either side of the sidewalk, causing rally attendees to walk in between them as they chanted.

Michael Brinn, a local elementary school administrator, was one of 75-100 protesters. He said that he is outspoken at his school about cultural sensitivity and that Trump does not support those values.
“Americans use their vote to speak, they use their money,” said Brinn. “They use their presence.”
Deborah Knight, who’s from Old Colorado City, was one of the more outspoken protesters. She said that whatever it takes, Trump must be stopped from getting into office.
“My heart is broken,” she said, “seeing people take children in there to see his hate and bigotry.”
Protesters had all kinds of signs, including those that were more humorous and those that touched on specific issues the protesters had with Trump.
The protesters finished up around 7 p.m., when the event officially started. A number of people who were planning to attend the rally weren’t granted access because the venue was full.
Heath Lewis and his friend, who both had tickets to the event, were part of the group that wasn’t let in.
“It sucks,” he said. “Now my friend is trying to make a sign to piss people off.”
