Activists Disrupt Event Honoring House Speaker Pelosi to Demand Trump's Impeachment
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In San Francisco, progressive activists disrupted an event Wednesday
honoring House Speaker Nancy Pelosi with a lifetime achievement award.
Dozens rallied outside the Inter Continental San Francisco Hotel, while
inside four others interrupted the ceremony, calling on Pelosi to
support the impeachment of President Trump. Demonstrators also protested
Pelosi's June approval of billions of dollars in funding for a
Republican border security package. The activists were eventually
removed by the police. No arrests were made.
