Some totally irresponsible and depraved parent took their child to a violent DisruptJ20 protest outside of the “Deploraball” at the National Press Club Thursday night.
According to reports, protesters chased and physically assaulted attendees, threw signs and litter at police, and set off smoke devices. Police reportedly deployed pepper spray and tear gas to keep the mob at bay.

Asked by Fox News’ Griff Jenkins about his participation in the fire, the boy proudly said, “My name’s Connor and I actually kinda started this fire.”
“So why’d you start that fire, Carter?” Jenkins asked.
“It’s Connor,” the boy said, glaring at Jenkins with an annoyed look on his face.
“So why’d you start that fire?” Jenkins asked?
“Because I wanted to and because I’m saying, screw our president!” Connor replied with gusto.
