Bikers For Trump: 'Wall Of Meat' Group Insults Liberal Protesters At Inauguration

WASHINGTON -- About half a dozen high school kids were shouting angry complaints about newly sworn-in President Donald Trump, but it was hard to make out a word of what they were saying. They were surrounded. Perched above the teenagers, standing near a dumpster and on a ledge, roughly a couple dozen bikers in leather jackets fired back at the small circle of fresh-faced protesters. Insults in the form of chants broke out, drowning out the kids.

"We won," the bikers yelled.

"Get a job!"

"Snowflakes!"

Danny Porcassi, 48, was the loudest of the bunch. The Detroit native came to Washington, D.C. to watch Trump become the 45^th president of the United States. Porcassi’s voice pierced through the small crowd standing against metal barriers near John Marshall Park Friday during the Bikers for Trump rally.

Everyone hushed as Porcassi bellowed at the high schoolers, "You kids will amount to nothing!"

In Hour 1 of Trump’s presidency, tensions were already high.

Police eventually ushered the teenagers out and the situation was resolved without violence, unlike large-scale protests that would break out later in the day. After the shouting match with the group, Porcassi told International Business Times the kids had been "pushing the envelope."

"I’m sick of listening to these little f-----g crybabies," he said.

The Bikers for Trump rally had been the subject of some controversy in the lead-up to the inauguration and Trump had seemingly endorsed the group, tweeting, "People are pouring into Washington in record numbers. Bikers for Trump are on their way. It will be a great Thursday, Friday and Saturday!"

The bikers had promised to block off protesters, which caused some to worry the event could turn violent. "In the event that we are needed, we will certainly form a wall of meat," Chris Cox, founder of the group, told Fox News this week. "We'll be shoulder-to-shoulder with our brothers. And we'll be toe-to-toe with anyone who's going to break through police barricades."

Outside the shouting match with the high schoolers, much of the early parts of the rally were relatively quiet. A band took a while to get going onstage, while bikers in leather jackets, jeans and boots mingled around, smoking cigarettes. The park was relatively empty as folks yelled "lock her up" and talked about building the wall on the southern border of the U.S.

Earlier in the day, protesters kept bikers and others from getting into the park by shouting "hey hey, ho ho, white supremacy has got to go," as well as "this checkpoint is closed." Reports indicated the biker group did get involved in a few physical confrontations throughout the day. But later, in the park, most everyone supported Trump and the atmosphere was calm.

As the band set up their gear, Porcassi, a custom hood worker, said he was ready for the change he thought Trump would bring, including more jobs. Asked if he could relate to the kids at all, he said no, “none of it makes sense.”

“Go Trump, that’s how I’m going to end it,” he told IBT.
