Counterprotests overshadow white supremacist rally in Washington

"No Nazis, No KKK, No fascist in the USA!" a group chanted on Freedom Plaza, just blocks away from the White House.

Kristen Minogue, who joined the event from the neighboring state of Maryland, said the far-right activists don't represent the United States. "We are a country that embraces diversity and as a white person I am not afraid to be a minority."

Antifa, a group known for using violent means to oppose far-right activists, was also seen among the demonstrators. Most of its members were dressed in black, many wearing helmets and equipped with sticks and protective gear, to prepare for any potential brawls.
