UFC Fighter Jorge Masvidal Wants to Attend Conservative Rallies After Viral Video of Left-Wing Extremists
UFC Fighter Jorge Masvidal may attend conservative rallies together with other fighters after seeing left-wing extremists attacking people in Washington, D.C.
There is a growing tension right now in Washington, D.C. where the White House is located. Supporters of Pres. Donald Trump and Joe Biden clash days after the election. Tension grows as the days progressed, as the supporters of both parties rallied on the streets.
UFC Fighter Jorge Masvidal has long been supporting Pres. Donald Trump. He campaigned for the re-election of the president along with other UFC Fighters.
They even created a coalition they named "Fighters Against Socialism" which is primarily comprised of different fighters who support the administration.
Masvidal is a conservative and he said on Saturday that he may start attending conservative marches like the one held days ago in the streets of Washington, D.C. together with other fighters after he saw some members of left-wing extremists attack people, according to a published article in The Daily Wire.
On Twitter, the UFC fighter also shared his insights on the video that he watched. According to Masvidal, a couple of his teammate might also join the rallies.
However, he clarified that they will not be promoting violence, rather they will be keeping the peace between the rallyists to make sure that the situation will not escalate.
"I bet I can get a couple of teammates and start attending these things #supernecessary. And I say this not to promote violence. To keep the peace. We are all in this together #theressurection," he wrote.
Masvidal was also featured in a two-minute video campaign of Pres. Trump where he showed his support.
In the campaign ad, Masvidal claimed that Democrats think they are entitled to the votes of the Latino community.
"They've got to show us what they can do for us, what they can do for our communities. We're not going to buy the same wolf tickets and false promises that destroyed great countries like Venezuela and Cuba. It's not gonna happen."

Trump condemns violent protests
The attacks happened after a majority of people had already left the "Million MAGA March" to show their support for President Donald Trump. The attacks occurred in the afternoon and later that night, members of the right-wing group went after some people in the leftist groups.
The violence caught the attention of Pres. Donald Trump later posted on his social media account. He condemned the violent acts, and even chastised the mayor for not stopping the chaos.
"Radical Left ANTIFA SCUM was easily rebuffed today by the big D.C. MAGA Rally crowd, only to return at night, after 99% of the crowd had left, to assault elderly people and families. Police got there, but late. Mayor is not doing her job!"
In addition to that, Trump also appealed to the law enforcement authorities to 'do their job' and keep peace at bay for both sides.
"ANTIFA SCUM ran for the hills today when they tried attacking the people at the Trump Rally, because those people aggressively fought back. Antifa waited until tonight, when 99% were gone, to attack innocent #MAGA People. DC Police, get going - do your job and don't hold back!!!"
