2/ Chants of "Fuck Reuters" and "Uhuru"-- the Proud Boys ironic appropriation of a pan-African socialist movement-- happening on @Reuters' livestream.

"Patriots, storm the capital!" shouted through bullhorn.

3/ Proud Boys founder Gavin McInnes is in the crowd, wearing a plate carrier and black baseball hat and generally looking stupid.


4/ Trump is now speaking, an hour late.

He claims that the "fake news media" has stolen the election.

5/ "We will stop the steal," Trump tells the crowd. "This was not a close election.... I've been in two elections, and the second one I won much bigger than the first."

I've been watching for reports around the country all day. So far, only Michigan has had anything more than a few rightwing protesters, but that could change closer to the inauguration.

I'm following @freep's live coverage of the Michigan Capitol here.

Where I am seeing small groups-- average of 3-5 people-- it's Boogaloo Boys. In Columbus, Ohio, and Salem, Oregon, for example.

.@jordangreentcb reports a dozen rightwing types skulking around in Raleigh, North Carolina, which is interesting.


.@jason_a_w is live-tweeting five Boogaloo Boys in Salem, Oregon. As he notes, they’re outnumbered 3:1 by the journalists on scene.


In New Jersey, @DLamontJenkins reports “one old guy, and he isn’t anywhere near the Statehouse, and he’s pissed.”
