Protesters Chant ‘Nazi Scum’ Outside Pro-Trump D.C. Event ‘DeploraBall’ (Video)

Police use chemical spray to control the crowd

Anti-Donald Trump protesters showed up at a Washington D.C. event called “DeploraBall” on Thursday night, chanting “Nazi scum” and clashing with Trump supporters.

Police used chemical spray on some protesters in an effort to control the unruly crowd, according to the Associated Press.

The “DeploraBall” was held at the National Press Club is and obviously a play on Hillary Clinton’s infamous remark when she referred to Trump supporters as a “basket of deplorables.”

The AP reported that “hundreds” of protestors showed up to disrupt the event, booing anyone who entered or exited the black-tie ball.

The protestors chanted “nazi scum,” while others danced and played a drum. Police offers are seen putting out a garbage can fire in the video. One man who identified himself as a “Hispanic immigrant” claimed he was attacked during the protest.

According to the AP, one pro-Trump supporter had items tossed at him and ran to the nearby Warner Theater to take cover, where he happened to run into Fox News’ conservative host Sean Hannity, who raised his fist to engage hecklers.
