Protest overwhelms white supremacist rally

WASHINGTON - A small white supremacist rally took place outside the White House on Sunday when only about 20 far-right supporters showed up, but they were massively outnumbered by counterprotesters.

Nearly 100 Washington police officers closed streets and threw a ring of steel across a park where the rally was held to keep the demonstrators and counterprotesters apart.

The day ended without major incident, though officers used pepper spray on rowdy anti-fascists a few blocks from the White House.
