Protesters and supporters of President-elect Donald Trump clashed outside a pro-Trump event in Washington the night before his inauguration. Police used chemical spray on some protesters in an effort to control the unruly crowd.
Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the National Press Club in downtown Washington, where the “DeploraBall” was being held. The name is a play on a campaign remark by Hillary Clinton, who once referred to many of Trump’s supporters as a “basket of deplorables.”
Protesters booed any time presumed ball-goers in suits, tuxedos or dresses came in or out of the event.
One man waving a pro-Trump flag had debris thrown at him and was chased to the nearby Warner Theater, where Fox News Channel personalities Sean Hannity and Geraldo Rivera happened to be outside waiting to go into another event. Hannity engaged hecklers by raising his fist; Rivera laughed and smiled before entering the theater.

ALL CROOKS HATE TRUMP!
What happened to the police separating them?
Observe how biased media is;
1) Quote; hundreds of protestors boo-ed ……” yet the headline reads protestors AND trump supporters clash.
2) one man with a trump flag had debris thrown at him. – who threw it? Protestors. Doesn’t spell it out.
3) Hannity engaged hecklers by raising his fist. Hecklers? Throwing debris at someone and chasing him down the street are hecklers?
And Hannity who is defending him is the insinuated violent one.
I find it fascinating all these do holders pro rights are the. Jolene ones who are trying to destroy free elections and peaceful transfer of power.
Pardon my previous unbehaved spellcheck.
Arye, take it easy. Think- maybe there is a reason why he’s so unpopular with more than half of Americans.
In the conservative media, the account was of the protesters attaching the “Deploraball” and being driven back by the police.
