WASHINGTON — Several people were arrested in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday in connection to protests ahead of Congress' certification of the Electoral College votes on Wednesday.

Washington D.C. Metropolitan Police said six arrests were made as of 9 p.m. ET, including some involving multiple charges. Those charges included a handful that were weapons-related, including carrying firearms without a license, possession of unregistered ammunition and possession of an unregistered firearm. Protesters were also charged with assaulting a police officer and simple assault.

Tuesday's rallies in support of President Donald Trump, who refuses to accept his November electoral loss to President-elect Joe Biden, featured an array of conservative speakers and drew in throngs of Trump supporters who traveled to the nation's capital ahead of Wednesday's proceedings.

Though the formal events ended earlier Tuesday, protesters remained out in the street well into the night, with videos on social media showing some clashing with police.

1. Deplorables warming up

[QED]

2. No masks? No vax? Karma will take care of that...

only problem is they'll bring the virus to others. If only they kept it to themselves.

3. On the verge of mass hysteria.

They will lose what's left of their minds later today.

[Pobeka]

7. I'd say they crossed the mass hysteria line many years ago.

Now it's moved to acting on their delusions.

4. A bunch of losers.

Just like their cult leader, a loser. These neanderthals came crawling from beneath their rocks when the "Tea Party" was front and center in the GOP. They were courted and accepted wholeheartedly into the republican party. Then the white supremacists, neo-nazis and fascists latched on to the hate-filled rhetoric of Donald Trump, and they too were accepted wholeheartedly into the republican party.

Your time is up, boys. It's time to crawl back beneath the rocks from whence you came. You're not welcome in the new United States of America. Your hate filled racist/fascist dream of running the country is over. Your psychotic hero has two weeks remaining in office, and after that your kind will be persona non grata in this country. Take your hate elsewhere. You're finished.

5. As I've said DO NOT go down there and counter protest, let MAGOTS go up in flames alone

Not to mention it WILL be a super spreader event.

6. Arrest more

whether the charges stick or not. Just like other cities arrested anti-trump protesters, and released them later with no charges.

And where are the secret government entities with unmarked vans? If they are going to show up for one kind of protest, they should show up for all protests. Because if they did and arrested some of these fanatics, maybe there'd be fewer fanatics after they got a dose of reality.

And then all of us who want the right to assemble could work together to make sure no secret entities and unmarked vans showed up at American protests ever again!

8. Instead of tear gas.......

.. could we spray them with Democrat Hoax Particles?

[Cozmo]

9. May these raving MAGATS get all that they deserve, Amen

[Aristus]

10. Bastards will probably clear D.C. of Twinkies, biscuits and gravy, and Mad Dog.

[oro]

11. good to see that the cops didn't let Trump idiots

have a free pass to rampage around. We'll see in the light of day if they continue NOT to play favorites.

12. No Lockdown! No Marxism No Masks! Nor Vaxx! No Brains!

No 5G!
