Tensions ran high Friday at Black Lives Matter Plaza in Washington, D.C. as a crowd of Trump supporters clashed with a group of anti-Trump protesters.

Arguments began when the two groups came face-to-face at Black Lives Matter Plaza. Despite efforts by D.C. Police to keep the groups separate, Trump supporters and Black Lives Matter supporters clashed with each other several times.

More police officers arrived at the scene to separate the Trump supporters from the protesters. Officers formed a line, and clashes broke out between the protesters and the police officers.

Although police attempted to keep the two groups separate, they continued to clash. One Trump supporter told a group of protesters that “you’re letting yourself be used, so you’re getting played.” When a police officer came over to intervene, he stepped in front of the Trump supporter and a protester mocked the officer for “protecting the Trumpies.”

“F*ck your baby,” a protester yelled at a family of Trump supporters. “That’s a racist baby. F*ck that baby,” he said. When one of the Trump supporters says that he is Hispanic, the protester asks, “then why the f*ck you voting for Trump?”

A later video showed one of the Black Lives Matter protesters getting arrested.

Friday’s unrest occurred ahead of several pro-Trump marches that are planned to take place in D.C. Saturday following Joe Biden’s victory in the presidential election and President Trump’s claims that there was widespread voter fraud. A #StopTheSteal rally is planned at the Freedom Plaza to protest the alleged voter fraud that Trump supporters believe impacted the election, and the Maga Million March is also planned to be held at the Freedom Plaza.

President Donald Trump said that he may make an appearance at the rallies.

“Heartwarming to see all of the tremendous support out there, especially the organic Rallies that are springing up all over the Country, including a big one on Saturday in D.C.,” Trump said on Twitter Friday. “I may even try to stop by and say hello. This Election was Rigged, from Dominion all the way up & down!”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
