Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) praised the thousands of demonstrators taking part in Saturday's Climate March, while slamming President Trump's agenda as "irrational and extreme."

“This is at least the third major protest, major march on Washington and around the country, since President Trump took office,” Wasserman Schultz told CNN’s Wolf Blitzer.

“You had the Women's March that was millions of people around the country; the March for Science, which was literally tens of thousands and now the march to combat climate change.”

The former Democratic National Committee chairwoman said the marches were part of a “mobilized and organized effort to push back and fight President Trump's really hardline extremist agenda.”

"I think that's been actually the best news story of the first 100 days: how many people are organized against President Trump's irrational and extreme agenda," she argued.

Wasserman Schultz’s comments came as thousands marched in Washington, D.C., for the People’s Climate March, a protest against Trump’s climate policies. The march fell on Trump's 100th day in office.
