The Berkeley protest began as a so-called “Patriot’s Day” rally of Trump supporters, but counter-demonstrators quickly gathered and much confrontation ensued.
Warning: GRAPHIC VIOLENCE (spoiler alert: yes, you do get to see Nazi salutes from Trump supporters.
Protesters gathered around the country on Saturday to protest the actions of the Trump administration and demand he show his tax returns like all other president’s have.
