A weekend of protests over the inauguration and presidency of Donald Trump began Thursday night with police in Washington, D.C., using pepper spray on protesters demonstrating outside a pro-Trump event.
Hundreds rallied outside the National Press Club, where the dinner billed as DeploraBall, was being held, NBC Washington reported. Some demonstrators set off smoke devices in the middle of the crowd, and police in riot gear blocked entrance to the dinner.

A Twitter account for the DeploraBall event mocked protesters, posting a video of crowds chanting "F--- Trump!" with their own message: "Shouting won't change tomorrow's outcome … can't wait to say president @realDonaldTrump."
