SICKENING FOOTAGE: 4 Trump Supporters Stabbed By Antifa, Counter-Protestor Shot at Election Protests
By Forbes. Rallies were staged across the country Saturday in support of President Trump’s campaign to overturn the election following a crushing Supreme Court loss, with at least two devolving into violent clashes with counter-protesters that left eight hospitalized and dozens arrested.
Thousands of the president’s supporters, including members of militia groups, gathered in cities big and small, rallying outside the capitals of Washington state, Georgia and in the nation’s capital, as well as in smaller towns like the Mobile, Alabama suburb Spanish Fort, where roughly 100 pro-Trump protesters showed up in support of the national “Stop the Steal” movement.

I’m at BLM Plaza, where a contingent of anti-Trump protesters with shields and umbrellas are preparing to march. They’re heading to McPherson Sq to meet another group that was recently rushed by a group of Proud Boys. I could hear fireworks shoot off from blocks away. #DCprotests pic.twitter.com/CWOMMsQwiV
