Protesters shouting 'Nazi scum' throw milkshake over Trump supporter
Anti-Trump protesters were filmed chanting ‘Nazi scum’ to a fan of the President before hurling a milkshake over him.
Metro.co.uk reported earlier that Pro-Trump supporters have been barricaded inside a pub by police as clashes broke out in London during Trump’s state visit.
In the shocking video, a large group of angry demonstrators could be seen surrounding the man – who was wearing a Make America Great Again cap – before throwing the McDonald’s iced drink over him.
They shouted ‘Nazi’ to the man in Parliament Square before they started pushing him around.
The man, who said he was from London but did not want to be named, said he was ‘angry’ to have been targeted.
Ha said: ‘I had to fight them off. I don’t get intimidated by them fascists.’
Explaining his support for the President, he said: ‘Because he’s done more than he said he was going to do for America.’
He added: ‘He’s true to his word when he said he wants to make America great again.’
The man said it is important for the US to be in a good position globally, adding: ‘If there’s a hiccup in America then it’s a tidal wave in England.’
Another clip showed Trump supporters behind a line of police at the entrance to a pub in Whitehall as a much larger crowd chanted: ‘Nazi scum off our streets.’
The milkshake throwing echoed attacks on Nigel Farage and Tommy Robinson last month.
A huge police and security operation is under way, with more than 3,182 officers deployed on Tuesday and road closures in place, while protesters were barred from demonstrating directly outside Downing Street.
Scotland Yard’s Deputy Commissioner Sir Steve House told the London Assembly Police and Crime Committee on Tuesday the policing plan has so far worked ‘effectively’.
He said the force is not in a position to estimate how much the operation will cost but added the US President’s last visit to the capital cost the Met about £2.9 million.
