Although the DCCC claimed its First Amendment rights were being violated, the reason for the Secret Service’s action is that a man set himself on fire.

In a video posted on Twitter, one can see flames as Secret Service vehicles approach the scene.

The right to peaceably assemble is protected under the First Amendment → Squashing this rally is beyond the pale. #ProtectTransHealthhttps://t.co/PhYTQHA6zY
