“Pro-Palestine protesters have BROKEN down part of the secure perimeter fence around the DNC Convention where Joe Biden is speaking tonight,” conservative commentator Benny Johnson said.

Johnson was on location in Chicago, covering the perimeter fencing when violence broke out.

According to Newsweek, DNC organizers built the perimeter wall around the convention.

Contained within are the convention’s two primary venues: the United Center and the McCormick Place Convention Center.

Over 200 different organizations coordinated to organize the large-scale protests, one spokesperson told Newsweek.

According to Fox News, as many as 100,000 protesters are expected to converge on the city during the DNC.

The DNC kicks off Monday and will continue until Thursday. President Joe Biden is scheduled to speak Monday evening.
