Huge crowds took to the streets in all 50 U.S. states at "No kings" protests on Saturday, venting anger over President Donald Trump's hard-line policies, while Republicans ridiculed them as "Hate America" rallies.

Organizers said 7 million people marched in protests spanning New York to Los Angeles, with demonstrations popping up in small cities across the U.S. heartland and even near Trump's home in Florida.

"This is what democracy looks like!" chanted thousands in Washington near the U.S. Capitol, where the federal government was shut down for a third week because of a legislative deadlock.
