Far-left “anti-fascist” and Black Lives Matters (BLM) activists stomped and danced on the United States flag Saturday as part of a Fourth of July protest in front of the White House in Washington, D.C.
The activists were caught on camera by Breitbart News stomping and dancing the Cha-Cha Slide on the flag. A number of those in attendance appeared to be affiliated with Refuse Fascism, an Antifa group founded in 2017 to combat President Donald Trump’s administration. Others in the crowd were also seen wearing BLM t-shirts and identified themselves as supporters of the cause.
“This flag has hurt so many of us, so come step on this flag,” one of the activists is heard, encouraging protesters to join in denigrating the flag, according to video captured by Breitbart News. “Get [this flag] dirty, that what this flag is, it’s dirty, it represents filth, greed, crime.”
The protest was one of several held across the country by Refuse Fascism, BLM, and other far-left groups. Officially, the activists claim the demonstrations are meant to show opposition to the death of George Floyd and support for tearing down statues and monuments, which they claim are a symbol of America’s racist and fascist history.
This is not the first time either Antifa or BLM activists have engaged in such conduct in front of the White House in recent months. In May, protesters upset over Floyd’s death set several U.S. flags ablaze, while alternatively chanting “hands up, don’t shoot” and obscenities at law enforcement.
As a result of that incident and others like it across the country, Trump floated the idea of sending individuals caught burning the U.S. flag to “jail for a year” at a campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma last month.

Biden rally.
I wish someone had stomped, and danced on their heads instead.
They are NOT “anti-fascist”, or has everyone forgot that Speech is Violence, thus Anti First Amendment and ANTIFA!!. They are the Fascists.
Because a bunch of freaks disrespected the flag?
Wasn’t the first and won’t be the last.
We saw how they stand up to any real challenge at Mt Rushmore and the cemetery today.
They’ll continue to destroy cities. I live in one of those cities and I don’t even care anymore :)
I’m sure that if the opportunity lent itself, many would donate to give these reprobates a one way ticket to the country of their choice.
They’re pathetic. I can tell you right now what is either going to hurt me or humiliate them: laughing and shaking my head at these @$$h@t$. They disgust my sense of everything that is good and just.
At times like these I wish all the talk about the virus was real.
Confederate flags? HAH! Getting rid of Old Glory for some other rag was always the objective. Confederate flags were stepping stones.
Hey corporate Amerika....this is what you’re supporting.
They are not leftists, protesters, etc they are TERRORISTS.

Sick Children.
Stupid and Arrogant adults.
Make yourselves outlaws and noone will lift a finger to save you.

Sudden Biden Rally Syndrome.
They just look like juveniles having a temper tantrum. They are not going to be taken seriously. They are dangerous ideologically, but their actions are ridiculous.
What an ignorant woman, what ignorant people, what a ignorant subversive movement.
they own the streets. everyone else forced to lockdown/shut-down or, in the cast of police, back down.
“Is it time?”
Past time.
History: For everyone from a website on the black hills
“By 1750, the Lakota, mostly the Oglala and Brule bands, had moved to the southeastern area of present-day South Dakota, near the Missouri River. Here they encountered the Arikara, and attacked and pushed them out of the area. During the late 1700s to early 1800s, the Lakota came to control the lands in the Black Hills and on the northern plains by the eviction of the Cheyenne and the Crow tribes; areas that would later become western South Dakota, eastern Montana, northern Wyoming and northern Nebraska.”
