Pepper spray is being deployed against protestors now, CNN’s Dan Scavino reports, along with live footage of a woman who took a spray directly to the face who is being treated with milk to the eyes. Dozens of protestors are still on the streets. | |
At the same time, Trump’s social media director has tweeted about the protestors, calling them “thugs”: | |

A big part of this protest so far - which has several times prevented CNN reporters from successfully connecting to outside broadcasts because of the noise it makes - has been cars spinning their wheels on the streets of Albuquerque: | |

Protestors are being removed “slowly, block by block”, according to CNN’s Jim Acosta, though there are still dozens - down from hundreds - on the streets currently, including trucks, which are spinning their tyres to create smoke and noise. | Protestors are being removed “slowly, block by block”, according to CNN’s Jim Acosta, though there are still dozens - down from hundreds - on the streets currently, including trucks, which are spinning their tyres to create smoke and noise. |

Hillary Clinton’s victory in tonight’s Washington primary is interesting, because while due to a bizarre quirk of the state party it is entirely meaningless, she is currently winning by considerably more votes than the entire turnout of the March Washington caucuses - which Bernie Sanders won, netting himself 74 delegates. | Hillary Clinton’s victory in tonight’s Washington primary is interesting, because while due to a bizarre quirk of the state party it is entirely meaningless, she is currently winning by considerably more votes than the entire turnout of the March Washington caucuses - which Bernie Sanders won, netting himself 74 delegates. |
