Proud Boys tear down BLM sign outside black church in DC

A group of Proud Boys ripped a Black Lives Matter sign off the front of a black Washington, DC, church and stomped on it during pro-Trump demonstrations in the nation’s capital Saturday night, video shows.

The footage, posted on Twitter by freelance reporter Brandan Gutenschwager, shows at least a half-dozen members of the right-wing radical group tearing down the sign outside the Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church.

The men can be seen punching and stomping on the sign right outside the front door of the church, while other demonstrators celebrate by chanting, “Our streets!”

One Twitter commenter called the incident “stupid and pointless.”

Another wrote, “They can’t possibly think this is a good look, right?”

But other people voiced support for the vandalism, with one Twitter user writing, “Tear it down boys! F–k yea!”

The church did not immediately respond to a request for comment Sunday.

Thousands of supporters of President Trump converged on DC on Saturday to back the president’s claims of widespread voter fraud in last month’s election, which he lost.

The demonstrators, including a large number of members of the Proud Boys, marched through the capital, clashing with counter-protesters including members of the left-wing group Antifa in incidents that turned increasingly violent as night fell

Police said four people were stabbed in the melees.

One disturbing video shows a knife fight between the two sides.
