The Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) complained that the Secret Service moved a transgender rally near the White House, saying they were trying to take away First Amendment rights, when actually a man set himself on fire.

In a video posted on Twitter, a person engulfed in flames is seen near the White House, with Secret Service vehicles approaching the scene. The Secret Service sent out a tweet shortly after saying, “a man lit himself on fire” and that the National Park Service and U.S. Park Police are on the scene “rendering first aid.”

WATCH (Warning, Graphic): 

This comes just months after a month after a man riding a scooter lit himself on fire outside of the White House. (RELATED:Man Lit Himself On Fire Outside Of White House)
