Hundreds of ‘violent’ anti-Israel protesters clash with Capitol cops outside DNC headquarters

Hundreds of “violent” anti-Israel protesters clashed with US Capitol Police Wednesday evening during a rally outside the Democratic National Committee headquarters in Washington, DC.

Video shows dozens of officers desperately pushing back an estimated 150 unruly protesters as they charged toward the Canal Street and Ivy Street, SE building.

Police were making arrests, but didn’t say how many people were taken into custody.

“Right now our officers are working to keep back approximately 150 people who are illegally and violently protesting in the area of Canal Street and Ivy Street, SE,” Capitol Police wrote on X.

“Officers are making arrests. All Members have been evacuated from the area. Please stay away from the area.”
