Hotel Harrington and Harry’s bar – magnets for right-wing protesters who’ve flocked to D.C. for pro-Trump presidents in recent months – will be closed during the next planned demonstration.
The hotel posted a statement on its Facebook page on Monday indicating that it will close Jan. 4, 5 and 6.
Last week, the Washington Post reported that activists were planning protests that weekend – when Congress is slated to certify the results of the election.
Protesters have poured into D.C. twice since the election to protest the results, which indicated that former Vice President Joe Biden had defeated President Donald Trump.
Harry’s has been the scene of multiple incidents – including an investigation by police responding to complaints of COVID-19 restriction violations, and violent confrontations between protesters, including stabbings, outside the bar’s walls.
