Trump supporters refuse to accept defeat
Print Edition
Chanting 鈥淭his isn鈥檛 over!鈥 and 鈥淪top the steal,鈥 supporters of US President Donald Trump protested at across the country on Saturday, refusing to accept defeat and echoing Trump鈥檚 unsubstantiated allegations that the Democrats won by fraud.
From Atlanta and Tallahassee to Austin, Bismarck, Boise and Phoenix, crowds ranging in size from a few dozen to a few thousand 鈥 some of them openly carrying guns 鈥 decried the news of Joe Biden鈥檚 victory after more than three suspense-filled days of vote-counting put the Democrat over the top. Skirmishes broke out in some cities.
In Atlanta, outside the state Capitol in the longtime Republican stronghold of Georgia, chants of 鈥淟ock him up!鈥 rang out among an estimated 1,000 Trump supporters. The streets were awash with American flags and Trump banners.
No immediate violence was reported, though at one point, police moved to separate Trump opponents from supporters. Biden held a slim lead in Georgia, which hasn鈥檛 gone for a Democrat since 1992.
Jordan Kelley, a 29-year-old from Murfreesboro, Tennessee, drove three-plus hours to Atlanta to attend the pro-Trump rally.
鈥淭here鈥檚 election fraud going on here,鈥 said Kelley, claiming that voters in Georgia, a state with a GOP governor and secretary of state, had improperly counted the ballots to put Biden ahead.
He planned to make the 10-hour trip to Washington next week to demonstrate on the steps of the Supreme Court, where Trump and his lawyers have vowed to eventually make his case.
Underscoring the hard feelings on both sides of the nation鈥檚 deep political divide, anti-Trump protesters in Washington booed, yelled obscenities, shouted 鈥淟oser! Loser!鈥 and gave the finger to Trump鈥檚 motorcade as the president returned to the White House from a golf outing.
