WASHINGTON: Thousands of supporters of President Donald Trump filled Washington streets on Saturday for rallies to support his desperate efforts to subvert the election that he lost to Joe Biden.
According to the report, thousands of red-hatted protesters arrived in Washington streets to back Trump's baseless claims of election fraud, undeterred by the US Supreme Court's rejection of what may have been his last chance to change the result. A clash broke out between pro-Trump and anti-Trump demonstrators after sundown. According to the report, four people were taken to a hospital with stab wounds, and the Metropolitan Police Department told the station that 23 people were arrested.
The crowd of Trump loyalists were intended as a show of force just two days before the Electoral College meets to formally elect Biden as the 46th president. Trump, whose term will end Jan. 20, refuses to concede, while clinging to baseless claims of fraud that have been rejected by state and federal courts, and Supreme Court. Trump tweeted his apparent surprise Saturday morning at the rallies, publicly known for weeks: “Wow! Thousands of people forming in Washington (D.C.) for Stop the Steal. Didn’t know about this, but I’ll be seeing them! #MAGA”
