I’m covering today’s far-right rally in Philadelphia. Some Proud Boys — and plenty of antifa with Gritty signs — are expected to show.
The far right rally doesn’t even start for an hour and one counter protester has already been arrested. Philly Police are using their bikes to push people across the street.

Here’s the scene in Philly. Roughly a dozen people at the far-right rally, with counter protesters on either side.

Cops aren’t letting media anywhere near the far right rally, so here’s another Gritty from the counterprotest. They love him!

A group of Proud Boys, including one facing charges from the New York attack, got into the counter-protesters before getting kicked out.
Now the rally organizer is complaining about a rival named “Big Sarge,” who he claims tried to sabotage the rally.
Philadelphia rally is wrapping up, with the two dozen or so people filtering out. The real issue will come afterwards, with possibility for clashes between Proud Boys and counterprotesters outside the police lines.
Tense moment in the Philadelphia visitor center, as Proud Boys stare down counterprotesters — and tourists stroll through the middle of it.
