4 Stabbed and One Shot as Trump Supporters and Opponents Clash

THE NEW YORK TIMES: Supporters of the president in several cities said they were still convinced that the election was stolen, no matter what the courts say. Some confrontations with counterprotesters turned violent.

WASHINGTON — Incensed by a Supreme Court ruling that further dashed President Trump’s hopes of invalidating his November electoral defeat, thousands of his supporters marched in Washington and several state capitals on Saturday to protest what they contended, against all evidence, was a stolen election.

In some places, angry confrontations between protesters and counterprotesters escalated into violence. There were a number of scuffles in the national capital, where four people were stabbed, and the police declared a riot in Olympia, Wash., where one person was shot. » | Hailey Fuchs, Pranshu Verma and Nicholas Bogel-Burroughs | Published: Saturday, December 12, 2020; Updated: Sunday, December 13, 2020
