Townhall’s Julio Rosas is back in D.C. and covering the protests outside of the White House as we await President Trump’s speech:
On the ground in front of the White House for @townhallcom. A large number of protesters are out here as Trump is getting ready to accept the nomination for the presidency.

And since it seems like every journo covering the speech is concerned about social distancing and masks, we’d like to point out that there are hundreds of people gathered outside the White House right now ignoring social distancing recommendations and not wearing masks. Like this fine fellow:

This is what you’d call a super-spreader event, right?

You see, it’s too dangerous to sing in church but shouting at the top of your lungs is OK:

And now it’s getting bloody:
A man was surrounded by a crowd of protesters near the White House, not sure why. A few scuffles broke out and then he was sucker punched in the head and he fell down. He also has some blood on his face. pic.twitter.com/ZOxCe9XP0m

Mostly-peaceful protesters at work. Again:
Agitators also chased out a cameraman from the area near the White House. They threatened to beat him up and destroy his camera. pic.twitter.com/8XiWipzOsY
