Washington Post reporter and CNN contributor Wesley Lowery on Friday defended rioting protesters at President Trumps inauguration, comparing them to the patriots behind the Boston Tea Party.

Nothing is more unAmerican than protesters who are not peaceful. Disgusting, McCaskill tweeted.

In response, Lowery wrote: The participants in the Boston Tea Party would likely beg to differ.

Rioters went on to vandalize several cars and set a limousine on fire. Hundreds ended up arrested and charged with rioting, and six police officers were injured.

Rioters also vandalized several cars, set a limousine on fire and smashed windows to multiple businesses.
