Donald Trump supporters clash with protesters at anti-Trump rally in Toronto

A small group of Donald Trump supporters showed up at an anti-Trump rally Saturday afternoon and got into a yelling match with protesters. Police were needed to maintain order.

“All these people are against capitalism yet Hillary Clinton was the candidate who took the most money from Wall Street,” said Trump supporter Mark Stewart.

“She’s the candidate of the corporate elite; Trump’s the one who is going to put the American workers first.”
