Tense moments captured by KTLA show protesters yelling in each other’s faces during a “No Kings” rally outside Trump National Golf Course in Rancho Palos Verdes.

Demonstrators lined Palos Verdes Drive South on Saturday morning, holding up signs and chanting as cars drove by and honked.

While most of the demonstrations remained relatively peaceful, a shouting match erupted between a “No Kings” protester and a counterprotester wearing a shirt that said “DEPORT WHITE LIBERAL WOMEN.”

The two men, within inches of each other, began yelling as others nearby also yelled “Racist go home!”

Each man goaded the other into starting a physical altercation, but both managed to keep their hands off each other. After about 20 seconds, the counterprotester began to walk away while yelling in a megaphone “This guy is fighting for illegal aliens” as the other man involved in the shouting match was ushered away.

The counterprotester appeared to be heavily outnumbered by “No Kings” demonstrators.

Thousands of other “No Kings” rallies are taking place across America on Saturday, including hundreds of volunteer-organized demonstrations in Southern California.
