In a video that’s begun to gain some attention online, a man identifying himself as a U.S. Marine Corps veteran slammed into the center of a group of America-protesting activists to put out an American flag the group had lit on fire in front of the White House. The moment came amid a series of chaotic July Fourth clashes between the Revolutionary Communist Party and the right-wing Proud Boys.
The self-identified Marine’s attempt to rescue the burning flag took place before the “Salute to America” on the National Mall on Thursday. In the video, posted on Twitter by the Washington Examiner’s Steven Nelson, a group of activists wearing Revolutionary Communist Party shirts can be seen brandishing a burning American flag, which comes dangerously close to several of the activists.
