Violent clashes in DC after Trump backers' election protest
After several thousand supporters of President Donald Trump protested the election results and marched to the Supreme Court, nighttime clashes with counterdemonstrators led to fistfights, at least one stabbing and more than 20 arrests.
The demonstrations in the nation's capital went from tense to violent during the night and early Sunday.
Videos posted on social media showed fights, projectiles and clubs as Trump backers sparred with those demanding they take their MAGA hats and banners and leave.
A variety of charges, including assault and weapons possession, were filed against those arrested, officials said.
Two police officers were injured and several firearms were recovered by police.
Trump accused Antifa activists of returning under cover of darkness to cause mayhem, claiming the pro-Trump crowd had sent the leftists running "for the hills" during daylight hours.
The president also blasted Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser, claiming the Democrat was not "doing her job," and urged the city's police force to "get going -- do your job and don't hold back!!"
Trump also accused the "Silent Media" of ignoring the Washington clashes, retweeting a message from Republican U.S. Rep. Lee Zeldin of New York, who alleged a "total media blackout" as leftists launched "abhorrent" assaults against Trump supporters.
Numerous videos on Twitter showed shouting matches and violence on streets and sidewalks.
