President Donald Trump urged Washington D.C. police not to “hold back” in cracking down on “antifa scum” in a shockingly violent tweet late Saturday. At least 20 people were arrested throughout the day, including four on gun charges, The Washington Post reported. Two police officers were injured, and a man in his 20s was in critical condition after he was stabbed in the back. The Proud Boys hate group clashed at various times with counterprotesters, witnesses reported. In one videotaped scene a large number of men in what appeared to be typical clothing worn by the Proud Boys battled with counterprotesters and chanted: “F**k antifa.”
