A little girl stole the hearts of anti-Trump protesters as she shared her reaction to his shock election victory despite being too young to vote. 

The child proudly said her piece at a rally in Austin, Texas, on Wednesday night as hundreds of people across the country took to the street in protest against his win. 

Boldly, she shouted: 'I am a child and I cannot vote. But love is love and love trumps hate!' to the cheers of watching adults. 

The girl has not been identified but her well-spoken speech has swept the internet since a video, taken by other protesters, was released.

A little girl won over protesters at an anti-Trump rally in Austin, Texas, on Wednesday 

Holding up a sign which read 'Love Trumps Hate #notmypresident', she stood in the middle of swarms of adult protesters to deliver her words of wisdom, every one of which was shouted back to her in unison by her approving audience. 

'I am a female. I am mixed race. I am a child and I cannot vote. 

'But that will not stop me from getting heard. Love is love and love trumps hate!' she said. 

To rapturous applause from the crowds, the girl then leaped into the arms of a male adult proudly watching on. 

It is not known if the man was the girl's father. Her speech was shared in a video by Storyful.

The girl looked to her minder for encouragement as crowds cheered her on half-way through
