But words are not violence. What was violence was the Black Lives Matter counter protesters who stabbed those supporting Trump, The Daily Mail reported.
Video and pictures from the incident show a member of the Proud Boys lying on the ground and being treated for a stomach wound after confronting the anti-Trump protester. The victims were transported to the hospital, according to the Washington Post, and were said to be in a critical condition.
Videos of the incidents were documented on Twitter by independent journalist Andy Ngo.
