A huge pro-Palestine protest at the White House has descended into chaos with smoke bombs let off and attendees claiming they were maced.

Thousands of demonstrators gathered in Washington on Saturday calling for a ceasefire on Gaza.

Video shows smoke billowing in front of the White House as a speaker delivers a speech to a crowd calling Israel a 'butcher of Gaza'.

Independent journalist Ford Fischer shared a photo of his bloodshot face claiming that mace had been deployed on the crowds during an attempted arrest.

In another clip cops can be seen making their way through the throngs to shouts of 'Free Palestine' and 'f*** the police.'

Activists were bussed across state lines to attend the huge rally, which marks eight months since the war began...

The chaos unfolded as Biden was out of the country on an official visit to France.

Protesters unfurled a giant red banner bearing victims' names which they used to surround the White House as part of the demonstration.

The Secret Service said it had enacted safety measures including erecting anti-scale fencing ahead of the demonstration.

Due to crowds gathering at Lafayette Square Park, several roads have been shutdown.

I'm really looking forward to the Democratic Convention this summer. Should be 1968 all over again.

But unfortunately missing the hickory shampoos and sidewalk sandwiches.

If we had a REAL DOJ there would be RICO charges for crossing State lines as part of a criminal conspiracy.

[Mr. Jeeves]

Can’t happen. Biden needs Michigan.

[lightman]

Biden needs Hamas like another hole in his *ss.

[Glennb51]

I wonder why they don’t protest at the Israeli embassey.

[FlingWingFlyer]

Sounds like a far left INSURRECTION to me. Where the hell are the FIBBIES? I hope somebody is taking mug shots so they all can have their keisters thrown in the Iron Bar Hotel.

[SaveFerris]

Sounds like INSURRECTION to me too.

[Revel]

How is this not an insurrection? Republicans need to start a J8 committee.

[Nervous Tick]

>> Where the hell are the FIBBIES?

Marching in Pride Parades, probably...

The FBI is totally corrupt, totally compromised. Totally worthless garbage.

I hold to the 1-9-90 premise:

1% of FBI need to be in front of a firing squad, or swinging from gibbets

9% need to be in PRISON. For terms varying from a few months to life.

The rest (90%) need to be UNEMPLOYED. And their names and positions and locations need to be public information, so that they are not only UNEMPLOYED but forever UNEMPLOYABLE.

P.S. The same is pretty much true of DOJ, CIA, DHS. But for a century the FBI has been lawless corrupt filth and they need to be GONE. NOW. BAMN. All of them. Start over, or use state policing. Worthless, shameless FILTH.

Photos all show a rather small area. Looks like maybe 1000 protesters from here. Not exactly massive.

[House Atreides]

“Massive”? “huge”? Doesn’t look like it to me.

[ComputerGuy]

You’re right. It wasn’t that big of a crowd. They didn’t even fill up Lafayette Square.

[Jeff Chandler]

INSURRECTION!!!

If these are some of o'biden's imported democrats, is this one of the jobs real Americans won't do as demRATs have claimed?

[LegendHasIt]

Maced?

Seems like a good start to me:

[Waverunner]

I have an original 1968 Democratic convention press pass/ access card used to open the old style mechanical card locks.
Should be a fun convention for all the fringe democrats and Antifa supporters.
Here's what the badges looked like...

[ifinnegan]

It’s not “massive.”

[arthurus]

I hope they were telling the truth about being maced though they do not tell truth habitually.
