‘Million Maga March’ Ends In Stabbing, Arrests After Trump Supporters And Counter Protesters Brawl

After a largely peaceful day of marching, the president’s supporters—among whom were members of militia groups like the Three Percenters, Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, as well as conspiracy theorist Alex Jones—were met by hundreds of counter protesters rejecting claims that Trump was cheated out of the election.

The two sides began to skirmish as night fell, with counter protesters aggravating marchers by trying to take their MAGA hats, signs and banners, and the president’s advocates periodically approaching the Black Lives Matter plaza where the opposition was gathering. 

Photos and videos shared to social media show violent fist fights, projectiles being thrown, and people beating each other with sticks and clubs.

A man in his 20s (whose affiliation is so far unknown) was stabbed in the back amid the chaos, according to a D.C. fire official, and was transported to the hospital with serious injuries. 

Two police officers were also injured amid the clashes. 

At least 20 people were arrested on a variety of charges, including weapons possession and assault, and police recovered several firearms from the rally.
