The vice president and defense secretary met with National Guard troops at Union Station, while protesters booed at the two leaders and chanted “free D.C.”

WASHINGTON (AP) — A National Guard vehicle collided with a civilian car less than a mile from the U.S. Capitol on Thursday morning as troops continued to take up positions around the city during President Donald Trump’s crackdown.

Stephen Miller, a top aide to the president, calls the protesters ‘crazy communists’ and ‘stupid white hippies.’
