A group of protesters hit the Embarcadero on Sunday to call for the impeachment of President Trump, causing lanes on the street to be temporarily closed in the midst of the holiday weekend, as ABC 7 and others are reporting. The Chronicle says that "thousands" turned out to march, some sporting patriotic gear, and NBC Bay Area says it was a "continually-growing crowd of people" that numbered in the thousands at its peak.

The protest moved north on Embarcadero from Justin Herman Plaza to Battery Street, and then turned around and returned. A couple of the chants included "What do we want? Impeachment. When do we want it? Now." and "No ban, no wall, no way, no fascist USA."

Some of the marchers told NBC Bay Area that they were motivated to come out Sunday after a tweet the President posted showing a Photoshopped Wrestlemania video in which he can be seen pummeling a person with the CNN logo for a head, and now the President has taken to calling CNN "FNN" for Fraud News Network.

The tweet has been widely seen as an encouragement for violent attacks on the news media.

The protest lasted about two hours, and the Chronicle reports that it was organized by multiple organizations, including Progressive Democrats of America.

Similar protests happened Sunday in Los Angeles, San Diego, and Austin.
