Good morning — I’m in Washington D.C. this morning covering the pro-Trump marches for the @dailydot.
Trump rolled through at rallies..
The hate group, The Proud Boys, are currently marching through the center of Freedom Plaza, where minutes go, Trump rolled through...
A small group of white nationalist ’groypers’ are marching around, yelling ”America First.”
A large group of Proud Boys are gathered by the Willard Hotel. One Proud Boy tells a Trump supporter next to me to stay close as ”there's a lot of tension right now.”
He's wearing a mask...just the wrong type...
White nationalist ’groypers’ are now chanting ’f*ck Charlie Kirk.’
The white nationalist ’groypers’ are now chanting ’Fox News sucks.’ No sign of their leader, Unite the Right attendee Nick Fuentes.
Unite the Right attendee and white nationalist groyper leader Nick Fuentes has appeared - and started chants booing Republican legislators.
Fuentes and fellow white nationalists continue to attempt to yell over the larger events speaker. ”Fox News sucks,” they chant.
Alt-right figure and groyper Tim Gionet, aka “Baked Alaska,” and Vincent James, a far-right YouTuber, are also rallying alongside Fuentes.
Ran into right-wing radio host Seb Gorka and he wasn't pleased to see me -- and didn't want to answer my questions on Fox News or his dabbling in QAnon.
Walking down the street across from the march... and House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy stops to talk with George Papadopoulos...
Seb Gorka, a fish oil salesman himself, is railing against snake oil merchants in a bonkers off the rails speech, full of plugs for the my pillow guy.
Here's a bit from a ’MAGA rap battle’...
A few more photos from today...still at the rally, which has moved to the stairs of the Supreme Court.
White nationalist groypers continue to rally a bit away from the main event on the Supreme Court's stairs. The crowd has mostly thinned out. That's it for me! Will have a full report for the @dailydot TK. Thanks for following along!

Steve Bannon's War Room podcast Twitter account has been suspended.
Bannon this morning called for Trump to place the heads of Dr. Anthony Fauci and FBI director Christopher Wray on "pikes," to be hung outside the White House.
Really disturbing rhetoric from Bannon, that of inciting and glorifying violence against government officials. Definitely not a ”censorship” issue like the right is currently claiming!
NEW: Yesterday, Fox News contributor Dan Bongino filed a motion refusing to pay the Daily Beast's attorney fees after losing in a defamation case. A judge previously ruled that Bongino must pay for the Beast's legal fees.
Back on October the 5th, The Beast's legal team said that Bongino owes them 31K...
