PHILADELPHIA — Many turned out for the Make America Great Again march in Center City Saturday.

Crowds gathered to support not only President Donald Trump, but veterans, law enforcement, and first responders, as well.

But what began as a scheduled Make America Great Again rally on Independence Mall quickly took on a life of its own when anti-Trump protestors joined in, turning the streets into gridlock.

“Three months in the making, we have been trying to do this,” said pro-Trump rally organizer Kevin Efaw.

The rally in Philadelphia was one of many around the country Saturday, but it wasn’t long until there was a bit of a takeover by hundreds of anti-Trump protesters.

“No Trump, no KKK, no racist USA,” chanted anti-Trump protestors. “Border walls have got to go from Palestine to Mexico.”

The clash even turned chaotic at one point, with protesters throwing smoke bombs into the street.

The protest that started at 11 a.m. was scheduled to go until 5 p.m. but was shut down around 3 p.m. x
