Pro-Trump supporters were out in Philadelphia tonight to welcome President Donald Trump to the city.
But anti-Trump/BLM folks were also out and causing some trouble beforehand.
Police did their best to try to keep both groups apart, although the BLM group seemed intent upon trying to stoke conflict.
There were some interesting conversations, like this one where a Trump supporter who fled a Communist country and became an American citizen was trying to explain that to an anti-Trump person, but then another protester with a megaphone (hint: leader) tried to drown down the conversation. Can’t have any sense, the BLM person could possibly learn the truth.
This pro-Trump woman said she’s an immigrant and became a US citizen in 2016.
The talk started off hostile between anti-Trump protesters, became civil and quickly ended as a protester began to shout into a megaphone over their conversation. pic.twitter.com/iGARpWhfc4

Then one of the anti-Trump folks swiped the hat of a black female Trump supporter. Sure showing that “black lives matter,” once again. She was able to get it back.
A pro-Trump protester got her hat stolen as she was near the barrier (she eventually got it back). One of the police officers asked other protesters to get it back if possible: pic.twitter.com/DECWTBHqEi

But being a vile radical leftist took over for some, like this lovely woman who was wearing a Trump mask and ran the American flag through her underwear.

Pathological. As my colleague Alex Parker reported, they took down an American flag in Rochester and replaced it with the BLM and Pride flags. Usually they burn the flag. This group, which included BLM and Refuse Fascism radicals have no regard for the flag.
Fortunately, police seem to be doing a pretty good job so far of keeping the radicals in check.
Trump scored one of the most important things to get when you’re in Philly, a great cheesesteak!
Great to be back in Philadelphia. Thank you Pennsylvania, see you again soon! #MAGA pic.twitter.com/l82C4TdlAE
