VIDEO THREAD: Earlier tonight, about 8:15pm or so, I arrived toward the tail-end of a fight between the Proud Boys and their opponents. Mace was in the air when I arrived.
One person appeared knocked out, taking about a minute to get up. Unclear which side.

"All commies are bastards!" chanted the Proud Boys.
Another fight broke out, but the person sparring with a Proud Boy ran away.
As some began chasing the man, another tried to stop them yelling, "No! It's a bad look!"
The fight didn't continue after a block-long chase.

As Proud Boys and Trump supporters marched on, antifascists did stand in their path, but police swiftly moved between the two sides, rendering violence between them basically impossible.
Proud Boys diverted and marched away chanting "fuck antifa!"

"Say his name! Donald Trump! Say his name! Donald Trump!" the MAGA supporters chanted.
They marched to the Washington Monument where Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio gave a speech.
"This right here shows the power when we, the right wing, unite, and we get together." he said.
He says he's glad the election was contested bc it shows his group "what's at stake."

One Proud Boy said "Break out Kyle" referring to Kenosha shooter Kyle Rittenhouse.
"Break out Kyle! Break out Kyle!" the Proud Boys chanted before Enrique Tarrio added that "We're just kidding, ladies and gentlemen."

"No Trump, no peace! No Trump, no peace!" the Proud Boys chanted at Willard InterContinental hotel, closer to the White House.
The chant is a reference to the commonly used "No justice, no peace" chant in progressive protests.

Owen Shroyer of Infowars spoke to the MAGA crowd.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I can announce to you right now in high confidence that Donald J. Trump has been re-elected for United States president," he said to cheers and chants of "USA!"

"Groyper! Groyper!" several Trump supporters chanted as they walked away from the spot the Shroyer speech took place (which turned into a spot to drink beer.)
Trump supporters then showed up with a giant flag requiring a couple dozen people to carry it that says "TRUMP: LAW AND ORDER."
They chanted "Back the blue" as they carried the flag over a police car.

As they marched with the giant "TRUMP: LAW AND ORDER" flag, the Trump supporters chanted "when we go one, we go all!" a reference to the Q-anon conspiracy theory.
Their last stop was the Trump hotel, where they did a giant flag wave and then folded it for the night.

Oops, I stayed up tweeting until 5 in the morning.
I also hired freelance videographers to film "Stop the Steal" rallies in three other cities yesterday.
I will have that footage up later today.
