The Revolution Communist Party (RevCom) showed up in front of the White House today to burn the American flag.
What they didn’t expect is push back from Trump supporters.
Things got out of hand when the group lit the flag on fire and then tossed it at Secret Service nearby.
Marcus J. DiPaola tweeted: Communists burn a flag in front of the White House, toss it on U.S. Secret Service Police, who recoils in pain.
Another USSS member comes in with a fire extinguisher and puts it out.
It’s hard to believe that there are people like this living in America:

At 5, communist Gregory Lee Johnson of Texas v. Johnson fame says he’ll try to burn a flag near the White House. He told media he’d like to “imagine a world without America.”
Tensions exploded outside the White House just now as Secret Service scrambled. At least one RevCom wrestled to the ground. pic.twitter.com/3kD7V9WWC1

Yes, there were arrests after the two incidences of flag burning in front of the White House:
Trump supporters confronted the communists chanting: “The west is the best!”
