Magatards get violent. 4 stabbed, 1 shot at pro-trump rallies over weekend.


Two days before the electoral college is set to make President-elect Joe Biden’s return to the White House official, a rally in Washington DC on Saturday featuring thousands of maskless magats who won’t accept that President Trump lost grew increasingly violent (but of course they did) with at least four people stabbed at a gathering point for the Proud Boys, and one shot at a pro Trump riot started in Olympia, Washington with a pro-Trump magat charged with assault in that shooting.

The falsehood-filled spectacle on Saturday in DC began with rallygoers roaming from the Capitol to the Mall and back again. They cheered on for the newly pardoned former national security adviser Michael Flynn, marched alongside conspiracy theorist Alex Jones and reveled over a flyover from what appeared to be Marine One.

At nightfall, however, the scene escalated with the stabbing of at least four people near Harry’s Bar at 11th and F streets NW — a gathering point for the extremist group known as the Proud Boys, which Trump refused to condemn during a presidential debate in September by telling them to “stand back and stand by.”

In Olympia, police declared the pro-Trump protest outside the state Capitol to be a riot on Saturday afternoon, following outbreaks of violence between the president's supporters and counterprotesters.

A 25-year-old man was arrested in connection to the shooting at the Capital Campus on Saturday and was jailed on a first-degree assault charge, the Washington State Patrol said.

The alleged shooter was "part of [the] right" group of pro-Trump protesters, while the victim was a counterprotester who was "part of [the] left," Chris Loftis, a Washington State Patrol spokesperson told BuzzFeed News.

All of this was entirely predictable thanks to the President of the United States being such a poor loser he would rather incite violence than admit he lost BIGLY.

“Both sides of the aisle hate you now. Congratulations,” a Proud Boy shouted at officers in riot gear who tried to block their course while marching through downtown in military-like rows, according to the Post.

The Post reported that punching, kicking and wrestling amongst agitators ensued as officers swarmed the scene and pulled instigators apart. Chemical irritants were fired and lines were formed between the sides. The amount of injuries is unclear.
