Roaming bands of white supremacists trawled the streets of Washington D.C. on Saturday, setting fires to Black Lives Matter banners and getting into stabbing fights in what appeared to be a free-for all outpouring of racist rage.
Earlier in the day, MAGA supporters gathered in the nations capital for a rally to protest the election results, where the Washington Post reports they heard from Alex Jones and Michael Flynn (who was recently pardoned by Trump for lying to the FBI).
Videos posted on social media show a band of diminutive, pinch-faced, red-hatted white men chanting that they will destroy the GOP because the party has not ensured Trump stays in officethough he has absolutely no valid claim to do so because he undeniably lost the election.
By that evening, members of the white nationalist Proud Boys group began spreading out across the D.C. area, pulling Black Lives Matter signs off of historically Black churches and destroying themincluding by setting the signs afire:
