Back in the U.S., In West Virginia, hundreds of protesters gathered outside an arena in the city of Huntington Thursday, as President Trump rallied thousands inside for a campaign-style event. The protesters largely ignored a so-called First Amendment area set up by city officials two blocks from the arena, and instead protested just outside the entrance to the venue. Inside, President Trump hit themes familiar to his 2016 campaign and blasted the Russia investigation as a “total fabrication.” Trump was joined on stage by West Virginia Democratic Governor Jim Justice.

Gov. Jim Justice: “Today, I will tell you, with lots of prayers and lots of thinking—today, I’ll tell you, as West Virginians, I can’t help you anymore being a Democrat governor. So, tomorrow, I will be changing my registration to Republican.”

Governor Justice’s address was interrupted when Trump supporters tore a Mexican flag away from an anti-Trump protester in the stands, while security guards escorted other demonstrators from the arena. The skirmish escalated to a brawl as one person had another in a headlock and security guards struggled to break up the fight.
