Far-left \u201canti-fascist\u201d and Black Lives Matters (BLM) activists stomped and danced on the United States flag Saturday as part of a Fourth of July protest in front of the White House in Washington, D.C.<\/h3>\n
The activists were caught on camera by Breitbart News stomping and dancing the Cha-Cha Slide on the flag. A number of those in attendance appeared to be affiliated with Refuse Fascism, an Antifa group\u00a0founded<\/a>\u00a0in 2017 to combat President Donald Trump\u2019s administration. Others in the crowd were also seen wearing BLM t-shirts and identified themselves as supporters of the cause.<\/p>\n \u201cThis flag has hurt so many of us, so come step on this flag,\u201d one of the activists is heard, encouraging protesters to join in denigrating the flag, according to video captured by Breitbart News. \u201cGet [this flag] dirty, that what this flag is, it\u2019s dirty, it represents filth, greed, crime.\u201d<\/p>\n The protest was one of several held across the country by\u00a0Refuse Fascism<\/a>, BLM, and other far-left groups. Officially, the activists claim the demonstrations are meant to show opposition to the death of George Floyd and support for tearing down statues and monuments, which they claim are a symbol of America\u2019s racist and fascist history.<\/p>\n This is not the first time either Antifa or BLM activists have engaged in such conduct in front of the White House in recent months. In May, protesters upset over Floyd\u2019s death set several U.S. flags ablaze, while alternatively chanting \u201chands up, don\u2019t shoot\u201d and obscenities at law enforcement.<\/p>\n As a result of that incident and others like it across the country, Trump\u00a0floated<\/a>\u00a0the idea of sending individuals caught burning the U.S. flag to \u201cjail for a year\u201d at a campaign rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma last month.<\/p>\n
