Protesters swarmed an elderly couple outside of the White House and proceeded to assault them Thursday evening, simply because the elderly fella was wearing a shirt that made him appear to be a Trump supporter.
The couple was followed, physically pushed, and heckled, even though they were simply trying to walk away and avoid confrontation. This eventually led a protester to punch the elderly man in the head.
This is absolutely heart-breaking. You can literally hear the man saying that he just wanted to watch the damn fireworks.

A man was surrounded by a crowd of protesters near the White House, not sure why. A few scuffles broke out and then he was sucker punched in the head and he fell down. He also has some blood on his face. pic.twitter.com/ZOxCe9XP0m

You can actually hear someone say, “You hit a black woman, the cops are going to arrest you because YOU are a white man!” WTH?
Thank goodness for video proof and for the fact that the Internet never forgets.
How much do you want to bet that these dimwit “protesters” will simply get a slap on the wrist (if that) and be labeled as ‘mostly peaceful’?
