Pro-Trump demonstrators, counter-protesters and police clashed in Washington, D.C., on Saturday evening after groups of the president’s supporters marched to protest the result of the 2020 election.
The demonstrations in the nation’s capital marked the second time since Nov. 3 that supporters of President Trump flocked to Washington to protest President-elect Joe Biden‘s Electoral College win and called for the results to be overturned.
The president, his allies and his supporters have claimed that the 2020 election was tainted by widespread election fraud. However, there is no substantial evidence that voter fraud on this level occurred.
Organizers planned demonstrations in front of the Supreme Court, Capitol and the Department of Justice as part of the events scheduled for the day. Trump’s former national security adviser Michael Flynn made an appearance in front of the Supreme Court and made a speech to the crowd gathered there.
In addition, Trump himself flew over protesters in Marine One on his way to toss the coin during the Army-Navy game.
