Scuffle breaks out between Trump supporters, counter protesters at ‘Million MAGA March’

November 18, 2020

President Trump made a drive-by appearance as his supporters gathered in Washington, DC, Saturday for a recount rally, where a few pro- and anti-Trump factions later traded punches. Black-clad members of the group Refuse Fascism got into a shouting match with Trump supporters as speeches got underway. The National Park Service issued a permit Friday allowing up to 10,000 people at a rally organized under the banners “Million MAGA March” and “Stop the Steal,” among others. The plaza can hold about 13,000 — but more than 300,000 joined the “Stop the Steal” organizing group on Facebook before it was removed by the tech giant. Thousands packed the plaza as speakers, including Republican Congresswoman-elect Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia and conservative commentator Paris Dennard, took the stage.
