Protesters in Washington D.C. harassed and blocked people trying to leave the White House as the Republican National Convention ended late Thursday night, numerous videos show.
A crowd swarmed and shouted at Sen. Rand Paul and his wife as they left the White House after President Donald Trump closed out the RNC. A police officer escorting the Kentucky Republican appeared to get shoved into Paul.

The protesters asked Republican Florida Rep. Brian Mast, “what do you think about police killing black people in this country?” while he was leaving the White House, video shows. He replied “anybody murdered is wrong … nobody should be killed,” before trying to part from the crowd, video shows.

“Go hide ya f—’ pussy” a protester yelled at the gate before the crowd began chanting “George Floyd” and “Breyonna Taylor,” video shows.

Pray for peace in America.
The prudent person prays for the best and prepares for the worst.
I hope the folks are paying close attention as this isxa small taste of what Sleepy Joe and his crew will bring to Washington and the rest of the country if Joe Biden is elected in November. What ever happened to law and order????????
This was a terrible situation.
I just learned tonight that our own NH RNC Committeeman Chris Ager and his wife was also caught up in the same mess.
Howie Carr spoke about this tonight and said many of these thugs are bussed in radicals.
Enough is Enough.
Actually I kind of like how the protesters so called are just looking worse and worse, works for me
Looks like city officials either don’t have a clue on how to handle this nonsense
or they just don’t care……..tax payers beware, you’ll be funding the cleanup !!
When these idiots come to your town lower the boom on them, they are just like
any bully ……. ” hit them hard, go home early ” with a little more head bashing
you’ll see a lot less trashing.
If you cannot walk the streets in peace because of ” Domestic Terrorist “….shut
them down and lock them up !!
If these subhuman oxygen thieves persist in attacking and attempting to injure peaceful citizens exercising their Constitutional rights, they’re going to discover more and more Americans with not only the ability, but the desire, to plant them in the dirt. Permanently.
Here is the full text and video of Trump’s speech on Thursday.
Papers, like the Valley News, wrote ABOUT the speech, but wove in a lot of leftist side issues,

The Valley News is nothing but a propaganda sheet.
Water cannons and tear gas should have been used to disperse the illiterate, low-life, hooligan, unemployables, who have no permits to “peacefully” assemble and harass
The more protests, the more disgusted the voters in the hinterland, the more votes for Trump.
Biden and his Bernie socialist leftists can no longer control the protesters
