Although Donald Trump eventually managed to make it inside the hotel for his California GOP convention speech, some protesters said they were proud of the rally.

Chen See said she felt the protest had been a great success. “We got a lot of people together trying to stop Trump from having a platform,” she said. “Anti-black, anti-Muslim, anti-migrant politicians have no place here.”

Roughly two dozen protesters who had been locked together blocking the street disbanded after about three hours.

Conflict between Trump supporters and protesters flared up again when one protester snatched an American flag and promptly ripped it up and set it on fire.

“This is indigenous land,” said the flag burner, who dressed in black and

covered his face.

The burning of the flag drew angry responses from supporters and protesters of Trump alike.
