We are here unified because of Donald Trump. We want to thank him for bringing us together, Simmons told the crowd.He added, We are focused on things that are not helpful to America, were using the Muslim community as a scapegoat. We are being mean to the people who are the victims of terrorism. All of the diversity we see here today will prevail.Also at the rally was New York Mayor Bill de Blasio, Chelsea Clinton, Q-Tip and Susan Sarandon, who the Daily Mail reportstold the crowd that its no longer possible to remain neutral and that We will fight hatred with love.Earlier this week,Russell co-authored a blog for The Huffington Post with Rabbi Marc Schneier that promoted Sundays rally and argued that Muslim immigrants have made great contributions to the country:All of the above-mentioned people are Muslim immigrants who have proven through their lifes work that they truly support our country and deeply love our people. It is high time President Trump should acknowledgeperhaps through a series of tweets ' that these American patriots and untold thousands of other Muslim immigrants from all walks of life are improving the quality of life of all Americans.Hearing that there were between 7,000-10,000 people who came to the #IAmAMuslimToo rally today!! An absolute incredible show of solidarity! pic.twitter.com/gAFOrx6JFG Russell Simmons (@UncleRUSH) February 19, 2017 -- This feed and its contents are the property of The Huffington Post, and use is subject to our terms.
