'Trump Support Rally' Maskless and Violent Clashes at Night... Trump Says "Amazing!"
[Asia Economy Reporter Hana Na] On the 12th (local time) in Washington DC, USA, a passionate rally supporting Donald Trump, who claims "election fraud," was held. Most of the people at the rally did not wear masks, and the event turned into physical clashes by night.
Thousands of protest participants were mostly white and wore red hats symbolizing President Trump. They shouted slogans like "4 more years!" insisting that President Trump should continue his term.
According to a report by The Washington Post (WP), not only were there very few people wearing masks, but the protests escalated into physical confrontations as night fell.
The Washington DC fire department reported that at least four people were stabbed and taken to the hospital during fights between the male supremacist right-wing group 'Proud Boys' and anti-Trump protesters, with some in critical condition. Foreign media also reported that someone was transported to the hospital after being shot. As of 9 PM on the 13th, 23 people were arrested for threatening police officers and rioting, and police officers were also injured during the suppression process.
Earlier, supporters of President Trump held a large rally in Washington DC on the 14th of last month. WP reported that they raised their voices, gaining momentum from Trump's allegations of "election fraud," ahead of the official confirmation of the election results on December 14, when the Electoral College votes.
Since the U.S. presidential election is an indirect election, the Electoral College is chosen in the November 3 election, and then the elected Electoral College officially elects the president on December 14.
