The day was marked by the who’s who of fascist scum that came out – even Donald Trump himself – and them complaining about antifa kicking their asses.
WASHINGTON, DC – Since Joe Biden was projected to be the next President of the United States, Donald Trump has only made three public appearances. One was on Veteran’s Day at a ceremony for the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in DC, another for a rambling press conference about the Covid vaccine, and the third was on Saturday as his caravan drove through the adoring fans attending a pro-Trump rally on Freedom Plaza that brought out scores of neo-fascists that throughout the day attacked counter-protesters who fought back against them, resulting in three persons being stabbed reportedly by members of the Proud Boys.
It was an event heavily promoted by the neo-Fascist Proud Boys who used video featuring the Mannerbund Anthem on the Telegram account of its leaders, Brien James, who was also the founder of several neo-Nazi groups, including the Vinlander Social Club as well as the American Guard. James, the American Guard and the Proud Boys came out in large numbers and was the focus of the fighting later on Saturday evening with protesters and media. On his Telegram account, James romanticized the turnout, posting, “Yesterday we took our rightful place amongst our countrymen. As leaders and defenders. We were universally accepted and treated as such… and it was one of the best days of my life.”
Another Proud Boys Telegram account, Proud Boys Uncensored, took away any pretense that the group was against any form for White supremacy or racism with a post reading, “The pendulum is swinging back and the day of the rope is coming for every single violent marxist (sic) in this nation,” using a reference from the Turner Diaries, a book written by William L. Pierce, founder of the neo-Nazi National Alliance that is often been seen as a precursor to fascist violence. Todd M. Clark, of Cheshire County, New Hampshire, who is also the New Hampshire Proud Boy Chapter President, reportedly operates the Proud Boys Uncensored account.

Meet "Redleg," aka Todd M. Clark, of Cheshire County, New Hampshire.
He's the President of the NH Proud Boys and runs Proud Boys Uncensored, the largest PB channel on Telegram.
Clark is also a neo-Nazi. pic.twitter.com/buOXZRT4uP
Kinda missed the point of The Boys. Homelander, an American fascist, is supposed to be the“bad guy.” pic.twitter.com/er5tyUaJPk

The rally was called the “Million MAGA March” which actually brought out thousands of Trump supporters who said they would not accept the results of the presidential election and wanted to hold an event in support of Trump. Over the course of two days however, the focus was more on engaging in violence with anyone they considered Black Live Matter and antifa. They began their time here on Friday by taking down any signs supporting Black Lives Matter on Black Lives Matter Plaza, including those on the fence around Lafayette Park in front of the White House that included pictures in memoriam of those murdered by police.

As the day went on, a sizable number of neo-fascists began to be seen in numbers mirroring the tragic 2017 “Unite the Right” rally in Charlottesville. In fact “Unite the Right” rally organizer, Jason Kessler was a participant in Saturday’s rally, being pictured with longer hair and a beard, not too far from ACT! For America’s Scott Presler as he spoke to people. Both Patrick Casey of the now disbanded American Identarian Movement (AmIM) and Nick Fuentes, the self-styled leader of the anti-Semitic Groypers, spoke, as did Vincent James from Red Elephants.
Still reviewing photos. I accidentally got a shot of Jason Kessler. There were so many people there that it was super difficult to look for a particular person, but lo and behold, there he is in front of Scott Presler. pic.twitter.com/AXaz5BXXHz

Speaking of the Groypers. One of their big things yesterday was throwing out America First flags to the crowd. My observation was that the crowd were all Groypers, so they were basically giving flags to themselves. Here's Vincent James and Baked Alaska throwing out flags. pic.twitter.com/LXY91ptqgN

At the gathering members of the Proud Boys, American Guard, and other violent fascist orgs mingled with Stop the Steal protesters and Trump supporters, America First groypers, the owners of the “Trump Unity Bridge”, and Patrick Casey of the “disbanded” American Identity Movement. pic.twitter.com/AxGe11bLiP

There were a lot of scuffles during the day with police allowing them to continue with eventual attempts to break up the sides. According to CNN, 20 arrests were made and two officers were injured. The evening saw one of the bigger scuffles as Proud Boys marched to attack a smaller group of protesters and others on the street. At some point at least three people were stabbed, their current conditions unknown. Proud Boy Leader Henry “Enrique” Tarrio is seen on video bragging about stealing a radio from one of the protesters. In the tweet, Donald Trump blamed the attacks from the Proud Boys on what he called “antifa scum”.
Looks like Proud Boy Leader Henry "Enrique" Tarrio was a part of the fighting in DC last night. Here he is after getting a hug from Tara LaRosa saying that he took a radio off someone he was fighting. A convicted felon should know that's theft. pic.twitter.com/C6E7selh7z

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!
