‘Get out of our city!’ WATCH protesters chase away journalist & try to silence black tour guide who defended Lincoln statue in DC
Conservative commentator Jack Posobiec has been harassed, branded a Nazi and chased away by a crowd of protesters, who gathered in Washington, DC dead set to tear down a statue of Abraham Lincoln.
Posobiec attended Friday’s demonstration calling for the removal of the Emancipation Monument in DC, live streaming the event to followers online. But once spotted in the crowd, the pundit was surrounded by hostile activists, who demanded he leave the protest.
Footage of the encounter shared on social media shows demonstrators getting physical with Posobiec, with one helmeted activist apparently trying to steal his cell phone as he was escorted away by a black tour guide, who came to the event as a counter-protester. At some point, Posobiec was also doused with an unknown liquid.
As Jack was surrounded, some of the rally participants disagreed about whether they should be blocking him, which led to a brief fight among the activists. pic.twitter.com/1adJWzo822

The pundit was harassed for several blocks after leaving the main protest area, eventually flanked by security personnel who evacuated him to safety. Once he was gone, protesters continued a standoff with police, with one pushed the ground after becoming aggressive with an officer.
He even got in the way of the police, attempted to shove them and even blocked the police vehicle while telling it to leave with Jack onboard. He appeared to lead the other Antifa insurgents by being as belligerent as possible. pic.twitter.com/0luldORYsx
