BLM protestors clashed with US Park Police at a pro-Trump rally near the Washington monument on Saturday, where Brandon Straka's #WalkAway Campaign held their UnSilent Majority March and Women's Town Hall.

US Park Police were quickly on the scene to quell the protestors, and made at least two arrests. As they detained the counter-protestors, the pro-Trump crowd cheered for the police and chanted "back the blue." The #WalkAway activists had attended a march that morning where they chanted "four more years," "back the blue," and "USA."
It was as speakers addressed the crowd that a small group of protestors arrived at the back of the rally and engaged with pro-trump attendees.
Andy Ngo was able to identify one woman as Megan Mitra Smith, who was also arrested at the autonomous zone in Portland. "This is at least her third arrest in recent weeks at violent antifa protests," said Ngo.

Later, a lone BLM activist stood off to the side at the back of the event where she was approached by a Trump supporter who claimed he was trying to engage in reasonable conservation. A member of the #WalkAway security team got between the BLM activist and the Trump-supporting activist and instructed the man to leave the woman alone.
One white BLM supporter attempted to interrupt the gathering by walking through the crowd chanting "Black Lives Matter." He was engaged by a black #Walk Away activist.
