A rally attended by about 5 or 6 dozen people in support of President Donald Trump as he faces an impeachment inquiry quickly escalated to physical confrontations and violence when counterprotesters unfurled Anti-Fascist flags.

There were fewer than a dozen counter protestors flying green "Antifa International" flags. The physical violence amounted to pushing, grabbing, body blocking and, at one point, a tug-of-war over a flag.

Blame for the escalation to physical violence was mutual. Tulsa police arrived to separate the protesters and counterprotesters.

"I think that a lot of people hate America and hate freedom, which is why they protest President Trump," said Jarrin Jackson, a former 2nd Congressional District candidate who emceed the rally. "It's sad that they don't know better. They don't like freedom, and so the enemies of freedom will try to use violence to silence people that love it."

“Blame for the escalation to physical violence was mutual.”

Translation: The Antifa thugs would have never attacked if the pro-Trump folks were not there....

Yes indeed.

Would it not make for an entertaining special for the cops to turn loose a few dozen Maligators in that crowd?

Put it on pay-per-view at $49.95 a pop and raise enough to pay off the national debt or at least make a serious dent in it
