A small white supremacist rally took place outside the White House when only some 20 far-right supporters showed up, but they were massively outnumbered by counter-protesters.
Washington police closed streets and threw a ring of steel across a park where the rally was held yesterday to keep the demonstrators and counter-protesters apart.
The day appeared to end without major incident, though officers used pepper spray on rowdy anti-fascists a few blocks from the White House.
The tiny group of demonstrators trickled in from nearby Vienna, Virginia under heavy police escort at Washington's Foggy Bottom Metro station -- and were met by hundreds of counter-protesters screaming "Shame!" and "Get out of my city!"
"The US is for all of us, NOT just some of us," one counter-protester sign read, while another said, "Fighting Nazis: An American Tradition."
