As Trump supporters turned out in Washington D.C. to rally for the President, radical left rioters turned what was a peaceful protest into a violent clash.
Several videos captured just one of the attacks on a Trump supporter Saturday. The footage showed an unnamed man surrounded by alleged Antifa members before he was sucker-punched from behind, while he tried to fend off attacks from several people.

Two counter-protesters were also seen stomping on his neck and head as he lay on the ground before snatching his phone. Other videos also captured the harassment and threats the man faced as he tried to walk away.

President Trump took to Twitter to denounce the violence on the streets of D.C. and commented specifically on this attack. He said those responsible were arrested.

ANTIFA SCUM ran for the hills today when they tried attacking the people at the Trump Rally, because those people aggressively fought back. Antifa waited until tonight, when 99% were gone, to attack innocent #MAGA People. DC Police, get going — do your job and don’t hold back!!!

This followed a series of tweets by the President that slammed Antifa as well as the capitol’s mayor.
Radical Left ANTIFA SCUM was easily rebuffed today by the big D.C. MAGA Rally crowd, only to return at night, after 99% of the crowd had left, to assault elderly people and families. Police got there, but late. Mayor is not doing her job!

Additionally, the radical left mobs did not stop at those who tried to fight back but also went after those who were trying to peacefully leave once violence broke out.

Another demonstrator was stabbed in the back, which left him hospitalized, while alleged Antifa members burned American flags in the streets.

Meanwhile, President Trump took aim at the mainstream media for not covering the violent attacks on his supporters. He said the silent media is the enemy of the people.
