Pro-Trump groups, with the backing of Trump himself, have engaged in multiple street protests and demonstrations decrying the election results and echoing Trump's false claim of election fraud.[5] These protests have taken place in Washington, D.C., state capitals, and other locations nationwide; they have included pro-Trump Proud Boys protesters. In November and December 2020, there were nighttime clashes and street scuffles in Washington between Trump supporters who refused to accept the president's defeat, including Proud Boys, and counterprotesters.[5][27][28]
