Thousands to Rally in Britain as Lawmakers Debate Canceling Trump's State Visit
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Britain, as many as 10,000 people are expected to join an anti-Trump
protest today, as the British Parliament holds a debate on whether to
cancel Trump's state visit to Britain. Nearly 2 million Brits have
signed on to a petition calling for Trump's visit to be canceled. This
is British Parliament member Tulip Siddiq.

Tulip Siddiq: "This is a man who has tainted the Muslim communities of
seven different countries with the same brush. If we allow Donald Trump
into our country on a state visit, what kind of message are we sending
to future generations? History will judge us if we allow this man to
come to our country without asking him questions first."
