VIDEO THREAD: Tonight, fans of Nick Fuentes (who was kicked out of #CPAC for anti-semitism such as praising Hitler and Holocaust denial) gathered at the Residence Inn by Marriott National Harbor to see him speak across from CPAC.

The men yelled "Groyper! Groyper!" inside the… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

@zdroberts

The self-proclaimed security for the "Groypers" confronted photojournalist @zdroberts by approaching him up close and falsely whining "stop assaulting me with your camera!"

The man repeatedly misidentified him as another journalist out-loud, provoking the crowd to chant at him.

@zdroberts

One of the men waiting to get into the "Groyper" rally showed off his suit to photog @zdroberts, noting that he wanted a "beautiful, 1930's style."

"What about the 1930's do you enjoy?" Zach asked him."

"Oh, all of it, especially the part where you all are dead," he replied.

Again, one of the masked "Groyper" security guards came outside and tried to put his hand into my camera while falsely saying "don't hit me with your camera please."

I laughed at him and called him fake news, which he retorted, as he continued this game.

He then tried the same… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

@Marriott

Then, uniformed security and/or police came out of the Residence Inn by Marriott National Harbor as the Groyper rally took place inside and approached journalists.

"No footage!" a uniformed officer said to people standing outside. "The @Marriott doesn't want you taking… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

@Marriott

Filming from outside the @Marriott, media could see masked "Groyper" rally security wearing a "YeIsRight" patch on his plate carrier using a handheld metal detector to search attendees before they could watch Nick Fuentes.

"Ye" refers to the artist formerly known as Kanye West,… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

@Marriott

Back at the hotel entrance, an officer approached again telling press that to photograph, they need to back up to the curb, citing private property.

Asked if that was a @Marriott request, the officer replied "that's for me to know and you to find out."

This is my full video of the exterior of the "Groyper" rally situation at the Marriott hotel across from CPAC, where Nick Fuentes and his supporters had previously been removed over the past two days.

As always, all footage available to license.

Inside the Marriott, absent press, Nick Fuentes streamed his speech.

"You know what else has got to go, in a Christian society?" he asked his audience.

"Democracy?" one in the audience replied.

"Jews?" another guessed.

"Talmudic Judaism" was his answer, to a roar of cheers.

In another clip from his livestreamed Marriott speech, Nick Fuentes says Jewish people are "half, or two thirds, or three quarters" of various institutions.

After meandering about the other portion, he concludes, "That's a long way of saying, I love Hitler!" again to cheers.

twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

As a clarification here: When this happened, and listening back to it, I hear "Oh, all of it, especially the part where you all are dead."

Some are saying he said "aren't there" rather than "are dead" at the end.

Frankly, he slurred a little bit either way, so it's hard to… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Only one year after Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene speaking out alongside him, Nick Fuentes condemned her during his Marriott speech last night.

He defended his original support for her: "You gotta work with who you got," he explained.

"Slim pickins, alright? We said we loved… twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

Just now: Attendees of Vice President Kamala Harris’s rally at the Ellipse resort to climbing over the “scale proof” fences surrounding the event after exit gates were closed, apparently due to pro-Palestine protesters on the other side.

2) "Push it down!"

During some of the confusion as police wouldn't allow people to leave the Harris Ellipse speech, some pushed over a small plastic fence that divided them from other people also trying to exit.

It didn't make a difference.

3) "You say it's open but where's it open?" crowds frustrated attempted to confront police as they had difficulty leaving the Harris rally.

"No! No! No!" a cop said as a man jumped, leaving a woman with him behind, who would have had to find a not-closed gate.

Meanwhile, police attempted to confine the pro-Palestine protests outside.

VIDEO THREAD: Tonight, police and protesters clashed outside the presidential debate in Philly.

I want to detail how that happened.

All was at peace until one person lit a flare, waving it around for the cameras.

Police pushed in in force, arresting him and angering the crowd.

2) A handful of frustrated protesters linked arms and pushed into a line of bike cops, mimicking them by shouting "move!"

"CPD, KKK, IOF you're all the same!" they chanted as a shoving match ensued.

Additional police arrived in riot gear and the scuffle spread and intensified.

3) With police assembling in riot gear including shields now, the remaining pro-Palestine protesters called to "disperse!"

Officers ended up facing off with a mostly empty street consisting of a handful of stragglers as well as remaining news cameras.

VIDEO THREAD: "Queers love Palestine! HRC loves the war machine!"

Protesters rallied against the Human Rights Campaign dinner tonight featuring Tim Walz in DC to condemn their relationship with weapons manufacturers, which they say enable genocide.

"We're not interupting!" they chanted. "Pink washing is disgusting!"

2) Protesters put red paint on their hands to symbolize what they say is the Human Rights Campaign's support for the killing of Palestinians.

"HRC is using our name to pinkwash an administration committing genocide, burning children under rubble but those children are not human enough for the Human Rights campaign, shame!"

3) "We are here, we are queer! Zionists not welcome here!"

Protesters banged on the windows overlooking the escalator and lobby that HRC guests went through to get to the gala with Tim Walz.

Police stepped in, forcing them away from the glass.

This is my 4K footage of how the violence outside the United States Capitol began today.

You can see the first mace deployed (over the heads of officers, toward the activists) which angers the pro-Palestine crowd, who begins throwing water bottles as officers continue using mace.

A little over a minute into the clip is a flash grenade, one of only a couple I saw used today.

My understanding is this occurred after Netanyahu arrived but before he spoke to Congress.

2) As police engaged the crowd, a man scolded police and was maced as well.

The crowd continued marching, taking a wider route around the Capitol and avoiding most confrontations during the march itself.

3) "Smack Netanyahu in the head with that billy club!"

Activists continued a wide march around the United States Capitol from the West side to the East side clockwise.

Some pro-Israel, anti-Netanyahu activists stood along the path and were mostly ignored. Police blocked off streets heading close to the Capitol complex.

VIDEO THREAD: Protesters gathered Tuesday night in front of the Watergate Hotel (the second night in a row) for a noise demonstration against Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu, who is staying inside.

"From DC to Palestine, Netanyahu's out of time!" chanted protesters using red and green smoke bombs. "Shut, shut, shut it down, no Zionism in this town!"

2) "Allahu Akbar! Hamas!" yelled one man through the fencer outside the Watergate at Israel supporters counter-protesting them from inside.

"Jewish motherf***ers!" he yelled. "We're gonna kill all of you!"

"We're gonna burn you!"

It should be noted that it was one lone individual, not the wider protest, using this specific rhetoric.

3) One man dawning an Israeli flag confronted the pro-Palestine protesters directly outside the Watergate.

"You're a coward, you should join the IDF and kill kids yourself, because you're a p***y," he was told.

The man says he's from Jerusalem, but he donates, rather than being in the IDF.

VIDEO THREAD: Police clashed with pro-Palestine protesters Friday night in New York City as President Biden visited Stonewall for an "LGBTQ+ Gala" and protesters demanded "No war criminals at pride!"

All video in thread by @olgafe_images for @N2Sreports

2) NYPD's Strategic Response Group forcefully pushed back pro-Palestine activists and made several arrests throughout the evening both attempting to keep protesters away from the event featuring President Biden and off of the streets.

3) Pro-Palestine protesters trying to reach the Biden event ran through the James A. Farley Building, but encountered both police and Israel supporters when they exited.
