Trump supporters in a pro-Trump rally in California was left with vandalized vehicles.
Supporters of U.S. President Donald Trump gathered to show their support in Sacramento, California on Saturday.
Reports said that counter-protesters slashed the Trump supporters' tires and also smashed their vehicles' windows, as reported by One American News Network.
Many victims spoke out and showed their destroyed vehicles, noting that that violence is never the answer.
Lisa Carlisle, a Trump supporter, said that people disagree with the things that she says, and disagree with the things that they say.

"But it doesn't mean damaging property, I mean it's ridiculous," Carlisle was quoted on a OANN report.
Carlisle's truck taillights were damaged, including her vehicle's tires.
She said that at least 10 cars were damaged.
The Sacramento police reported that reports were filed for those who had their property damaged during the pro-Trump rally.
California Streets Tension
Since the Nov. 3 election crowds of people supporting the president have taken to the street to voice out his baseless claims of widespread electoral fraud.
Pro-Trump protesters included the Proud Boys, a far-right group with members branding themselves as Western chauvinists.
Sacramento police officers were once again trying to separate these two groups as they fear they would be more direct conflicts between the two opposing groups.
The demonstration seems to have a growing conflict with tensions high.

Police reported glass bottles and fireworks being thrown between the two around 1 p.m., as reported by the Sacramento Bee.
The Antifa group has marched down from 16th street to the Capitol, where the Proud Boys were gathered.
Police implied that the groups were becoming even more antagonistic with one another.
The police department said that one group continues to move locations in attempts to confront the other group.
"Officers are continuing to keep the groups separate. While separating the two groups officers have had lasers directed into their eyes," the police department was quoted on a report.
By 4:20 p.m. police said that both groups had been dispersed.
More than 150 officers were dispatched to the Capitol.
Police were notified of several altercations during the course of the demonstration.
However, nobody involved wanted to file a report.
Detectives will continue to probe at the vandalism of several vehicles.
Karyn Tompkins said that there is no need to go trashing other people's properties.
Tompkins has been one of the many who had their vehicles' tires slashed.
She said that she cried because she was so mad with the damages that her vehicle has taken.
Carlisle and Tompkins said that this is the first time that they have had their property damaged at a rally, adding that it crossed a line, according to KTLA 5.
"We need to stand up for our freedoms and they also need to stand up for what they believe in too. But trashing people's cars doesn't do any of that," Tompkins was quoted on a report.
She added that everyone is different from one another and that is what makes America great.
