Protesters harassed people in the streets of Washington, DC, following the last night of the Republican National Convention at the White House.
Many of the individuals harassed were Republican politicians and RNC guests who were leaving the convention’s closing ceremonies and were met by protesters shoving, cursing, and shouting Black Lives Matter slogans at them.
Breitbart News reporters and various others on the scene captured video of the confrontations.

Kevin McCarthy tweeted on Friday.”Her reckless comments have consequences. She should immediately condemn these assaults against democracy.”
