A supporter of failed one-term ex-president Donald Trump tried to attack anti-Trump protesters in New York City Tuesday morning and had to be pulled away by police.
David Mack of BuzzFeed News shared video of the incident on Twitter and it quickly went viral.
“A Trump supporter just rushed the banner and tried to tear it up. Started attacking the anti-Trump protesters. Very ugly and heated. Swarmed by media. Police struggled to get in to break it up. Getting heated.”
Law enforcement had to step in and separate the two groups.
The confrontation came just hours before Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is scheduled to hold a pro-Trump rally in the very same area of downtown Manhattan.
The disgraced former president will be arraigned, booked, fingerprinted, and photographed at 1:30 pm. He will then return to his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach, Florida, and make a speech later this evening.
