So does a group of NeoNazi's vowing to protect Trump.
Now it seems like you're trying to deflect.
There is a huge difference between people peacefully marching that you don't agree with (I don't either, by the way) and a protest by people that you do agree with that are showing ISIS related items; burning cars, newspaper machines, and trash cans; throwing smoke bombs and small explosives; injuring police officers; breaking business' windows and glass enclosed bus stops. How much of that took place with the neoNazi's, other than that from the Left towards them, or from those on the Right, as a whole, during Obama's coronations? And, BTW, how many Black Panthers, and other radical Black Liberation groups, marched in favor of Obama?
Also, when has Trump ever embraced the support he received from the Skinheads? Obama was constantly singing the praises of of many of the black groups that supported him.
Your assertion that the protest were largely peaceful holds little water. How large is "largely"? 51%? 60%? 75%? That still leaves up to 49% as violent. Admittedly, the women were peaceful, with the exception of jostling a few reporters and the verbal assaults that took place. During the one(s) on inauguration day, the protesters were not so peaceful
This where we need to put things in perspective. ONE person, supposedly showing an ISIS picture on his phone (according to Alex Jones, not exactly the most reputable of sources) and now it's "people" showing "ISIS related items".
So I posted a photo of NeoNazi's supporting Trump with the question - does that then mean that the Neo Nazi's are representative of Trump supporters?
Of course not. Just like this one guy with ISIS on his phone is not representative of the Anti-Trumpers.
Largely peaceful.
214 arrests, according to one article I read.
How many protestors were there? At least tens of thousands, representing a number of different groups including pro-Trump groups. The articles state that the trouble seemed to have been caused by one black clad anti-capitalist/anti-fascist group. 214 out of tens of thousands. Largely peaceful? Given the numbers I think that is an honest assessment.
