A Black Lives Matter protester danced with an effigy of a beheaded Donald Trump while a crowd of demonstrators chanted “F– Donald Trump” in Madison, Wisconsin Saturday.
Rebecca Brannon was on the ground at the Wisconsin State Capitol for one of dozens of “stop the steal” protests taking place across the country. A crowd of Joe Biden supporters and Black Lives Matter agitators showed up at the event, including one man who danced with a beheaded effigy of the president.

The atmosphere grew so tense at one point that a fight broke out between a Biden supporter and a Black Lives Matter protester, according to video from the event.

Biden delivered a victory speech in Wilmington, Delaware, Saturday night and called on Americans to “give each other a chance.”
“Let’s give each other a chance. It’s time to put away the harsh rhetoric, lower the temperature, see each other again, listen to each other again,” he said. “To make progress, we have to stop treating our opponents as our enemies.”
