Pro-Palestine protesters swarm outside glitzy White House Correspondents' Dinner venue

Demonstrators brandished Palestinian flags and fiery signs declaring "Media lies, Gaza dies" and "No war for Israel" outside the Washington Hilton, the longtime home of the annual dinner hosted by the White House Correspondents' Association.
