Last night was absolute chaos in D.C.
Over 10,000 Trump supporters made their way to D.C. to support President Trump in the Stop the Steally rally and the Jericho March and the day was mostly peaceful.
When night hit things changed immediately.
A large number of Antifa militants took the streets and started to attack Trump supporters.
One Antifa member was carrying a knife around the city and was stabbing Trump supporters and eventually stabbed a Proud Boy member who was trying to stop the man.
Word got out about the stabbing and Proud Boys members immediately got justice and started beating up the man who was running around stabbing Trump supporters.

NBC Washington covered the violence that took place and added these details:
Nine people have been injured — including four who were stabbed — and at least 23 arrests have been made during a volatile night of clashes between supporters of President Donald Trump and counterprotesters in Washington, D.C.
Saturday night’s chaotic scenes follow a day of rallies that brought crowds of Trump supporters to town. In late afternoon, police said that beyond minor scuffles, there had been no major acts of violence or criminal activity as of late afternoon.
After sunset, however, tense moments began to unfold, with sporadic clashes breaking out between Trump supporters and counterprotesters. Officers attempted to keep members from opposing groups separated.
One Christian Couple was simply walking to their hotel when Antifa started harassing them.

New York Post added details about the Stabbing incident:
Violence erupted in Washington, D.C., on Saturday night as Proud Boys and Antifa clashed after a day of pro-Trump demonstrations, leaving a female cop injured and at least four people stabbed — including in this dramatic, caught-on-video knife-fight.
The video shows a lone African American counter-protester, dressed all in black, as he is surrounded outside Harry’s Bar at 11th and F streets NW by a group of shouting white men.
But when he’s shoved from behind, the lone counter-protester pulls what appears to be a gravity knife from his right coat pocket.
He flicks it open and holds it down at his side as he continues trying to walk off — and the group surrounding him bursts into screams and shouts, some among them moving still closer to him.
“He’s got a knife!” they shout. Others in the crowd shout, “Get back! Get back!”
The counter-protester appears to be swinging his knife and running away as some in the crowd then give chase and tackle him.
