On August 8, 2018 the group "Resist Marxism" organized the "Providence Freedom Rally and March" on the Rhode Island State House steps. Counter protests centered on shutting down the permitted event and their speech all together. In the end, Rhode Island police allowed the counter protestors violently assault and destroy the permitted events equipment and shut down their speech.
While mainstream media darlings like CNN's Jim Acosta lament President Trump's criticism of fake news doing things like inciting violence by labeling Trump and his supporters as racists, and while they attempt to portray Trump's criticism as an attack on free speech, Trump supporters are continuously violently assaulted and having their first amendment rights violated for hoaxes the fake news members of the media help perpetuate and exacerbate.
