Hotel Harrington announces it will be closed during planned Jan. Pro-Trump demonstration

by Samantha Mitchell Monday, December 28th 2020

WASHINGTON (ABC7) -- Hotel Harrington announced that its hotel will be closed on the dates of a planned Pro-Trump demonstration in January. ... The hotel says it will be closed on January 4, 5, and 6 "for the safety of visitors and employees." ... It adds that refunds will be made available for any pre-paid reservations. ... Harry's has served as a gathering spot for President Trump's base.

Several stabbings happened in the area of Harry's Restaurant on the evening of Dec. 12 after mostly-peaceful pro-Trump rallies throughout the day. Officials say the clash was between Trump supporters and Anti-Trump protestors.

The group behind both the 'Million MAGA March' and a pro-President Donald Trump demonstration earlier this month plans to hold another event on January 6, the day President Trump claimed there would be "wild" protests in D.C.

The National Parks Service confirmed to ABC7 the group Women for America First originally submitted an application to hold an event on Jan. 23, the weekend after the inauguration. However, NPS said the group recently amended their application to move the rally to Jan. 5 through 7. The demonstration itself is slated for Jan. 6. on Freedom Plaza.

Hat tip, Will Sommer. He was tweeting about this last night.

I do not know how this affects the hotel's and bar's workers. Someone might be passing the hat for them.

DC's Hotel Harrington, a popular spot for Proud Boys, says it'll be closed on Jan 6 -- the same day as a last-ditch MAGA rally to stop Congress from counting electoral votes. Angry Trump supporters who lost room reservations are fuming on The Donald.

Harry's, the Harrington hotel bar that's become a hub for Proud Boys and other MAGA types and been fined by violating Covid restrictions, has also said they'll be closed Jan. 6.

1. I guess the FBI had a field day on those responses with their emails in the comments.

I will say this.

The Proud Boys and their ilk are really dumb people.

2. Peaceful stabbings

I avoid these idiots but some liberals want to engage in fighting them on the streets. These boys always have weapons, armor, and are looking to brawl with someone.

It's nice for some tourists and students to have a cheap place to stay in DC. But we will not miss the Proud Boys who stay there and terrorize our city. Hotel Harrington is closed for good.
