DANVILLE (KPIX) – Trump supporters from the Bay Area were at Wednesday’s protest in Washington D.C. Dave, from the East Bay, described what happened when things turned violent.

Dave, who didn’t want to give his last name, along with a group of Trump supporters flew to Washington D.C. from the Bay Area with a plan to celebrate. They called it a celebration because President Trump was expected to give an inspirational speech about the electoral votes for the seven states under contention. That is far from what happened.
