A man ended up at the hospital Tuesday after he tried to light himself on fire outside the Trump International Hotel in Northwest D.C.

Hotel employees called the police and D.C. Fire responded to a call of a man trying to set himself on fire around 9:30 p.m.

NBC Washington reports that the man is from California and is protesting the election of Donald Trump.

In a video the man can be heard saying he tried to light himself on fire as an act of protest.

The man was taken to the hospital with burns. He is expected to be OK.

doesn’t sound like he tried hard enough. If at first you don’t succeed, try try again.

The snowflake have gone “FULL RETARD”. This guy went FULL RETARD and in typical liberal fashion, he screwed it up. Epic fail. Had he done it right, he’d be a smoking pile of meat right now.

Republicans will no doubt be accused of voter suppression from this.

I say let him go ahead as long as he is removed from the voter rolls after he is ‘done’. Dead dems, especially the extra crispy ones need to be stopped from voting.
