D.C. Protester: ‘They’re are trying to burn down our Capitol … it ain’t patriots … it’s Antifa’
“It ain’t patriots up there anymore — if you go look they look like Antifa — they don’t look like me — they don’t look like you guys.”
A man who appears to be a Trump supporter was captured on video warning those in attendance outside the U.S. Capitol building that “Antifa” were among those attempting to burn down the capitol.
“They’re trying to burn down our capitol and I did not come here for that shit,” the man told the crowd as flash-bangs and explosions could be seen and heard detonating in the backdrop. “It ain’t patriots up there anymore — if you go look they look like Antifa — they don’t look like me — they don’t look like you guys.”
The man-made it clear that law enforcement and or the military will be “hunting the families down that are trying to go home” after dark.
“They got us here after dark,” the man said. “I see a lot of women — I see a lot of kids — get your families home and get out of here.”
This comes after a curfew was imposed throughout the D.C. Capital Region under a state of emergency order.
Over 20,000 National Guard troops have been deployed into the district. Military activity including air operations is at an all-time high.
