Protesters square off during ‘No Kings’ rally outside Trump’s Southern California golf course
Tense moments captured by KTLA show protesters yelling in each other’s faces at a “No to Kings” rally outside the Trump National Golf Course in Rancho Palos Verdes.
Demonstrators lined up on Palos Verdes Drive South Saturday morning, holding signs and chanting as cars drove by and honked their horns.
Although most demonstrations remained relatively peaceful, there was a shouting match between a “No to Kings” protester and a counterprotester wearing a shirt that read “Deport WHITE LIBERAL WOMEN.”

Both men provoked the other into starting a physical altercation, but they both managed to keep their hands off each other. After about 20 seconds, the counterprotester began walking away, shouting through a megaphone, “This guy is fighting for illegal aliens,” and the other man who joined in the yelling was also pushed away.
The counter-protesters appeared to far outnumber the “No King” demonstrators.
Thousands of other “No King” rallies are taking place across America on Saturday, including hundreds of demonstrations organized by volunteers in Southern California.
