Chaos Erupts in Washington, D.C. as MAGA Fans Clash with Police on Eve Of Trump Election Protest
On the eve of pro-Trump protests in Washington, D.C., chaos broke out in the city’s streets as MAGA supporters violently clashed with police.
The Tuesday night altercation occurred not far from the White House, outside of Black Lives Matter Plaza, where “Stop the Steal” supporters apparently attempted to “rush the line” of officers.

Following the skirmish, in which police liberally deployed pepper spray on the demonstrators, Trump supporters began to verbally attack the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan Police.
“You lost both sides of support. We had your f*cking back, but we ain’t got your back no more!” protestors yelled.

The clash in the streets came roughly 12 hours before pro-Trump supporters are set to again take to the streets in the nation’s capital, in droves, to support President Donald Trump’s anti-democratic attempt to overturn the 2020 election results during Congress’s verification of President-elect Joe Biden’s Electoral College victory.
