WASHINGTON — Hockey people talk about the resiliency of the Golden Knights and Washington Capitals, finalists in a fierce battle for the Stanley Cup.
They have nothing on Philipos Melaku-Bello, and it’s not even close.
Melaku-Bello is the White House Protest Guy. You’ll find him just beyond the front gate at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. NW, where he spends part of every day hunkered down under a small green tarpaulin hut surrounded by posters and placards such as “Free Tibet,” “Wanted: Wisdom & Honesty” and “War Is Not The Answer.”
He has been hunkered there 125 hours a week for 37 years.
