Trump supporters, antifascist activists clash in Minnesota

Clashes have erupted between the supporters of US President Donald Trump and antifascist activists in the city of Saint Paul, Minnesota.

Nearly 200 antifascist protesters Saturday gathered on the steps of the Minnesota State Capitol where some Trump supporters were holding rallies inside to celebrate his first 100 days in office.

The protesters expressed support for immigrants, refugees and Black Lives Matter, as well as opposition to the Trump administration.

A noisy fight erupted when the activists tried to prevent some other supporters of Trump, who were chanting anti-immigrant slogans, from entering the Capitol.

The fight went on with Trump supporters and anti-fascist activists kicking and punching each other.

At one point, a Trump supporter came out of the Capitol and told the alt-right group, “Please go away. We have nothing to do with you guys.”
