Massive anti-Trump protest at #DeploraBall in DC ahead of inauguration

20 Jan, 2017

Protesters outside the "Deploraball" have been hit with pepper spray grenades ahead of the inauguration of President-elect Donald Trump. RT America is on the scene in Washington, DC.

Police fired some sort of tear gas at demonstrators, according to RT's Alexander Rubinstein. The protesters are throwing things at officers, including posters, water balloons and even a bike at one point.

A Deploraball attendee was beaten by protesters as shouts of "Bleed Nazi, bleed!" rang out. The man escaped through a line of police, who then sprayed pepper spray into the crowd.

The Deploraball is a pre-inaugural party to celebrate Trump's election. About a thousand so-called "deplorables" are expected to attend the event at the National Press Club. The name is in reference to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton's remark that "you could put half of Trump's supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables."

Like Trumps promises...

Seditious conspiracy charges for whoever organized a "demonstration" that planned violence.

Twenty years to rethink their choices sounds like a great idea.

The Draft for all young people, maybe Muslims excluded for security reasons.

Pretty tame really. I'd like to see a full on riot.

The rioters attacked cops, put two in the hospital today, lit a trash can fire, and vandalized a McDonalds, a sidewalk cafe, and a Bank of America branch.
It's McDonalds' fault the Clinton Syndicate lost!

Too busy cashing their welfare checks before Trump takes them away.
