Watch Antifa Attacks on Conservative Journalists (video)

The latest Antifa attacks were an assault against One America News Network (OANN) Reporter Jack Posobiec in a Washington, D.C. park. The video below shows an Antifa crowd threatening Posobiec, who remained remarkably poised and calm during the encounter.

The Antifa attack included dumping water on Posobiec, attempting to steal his phone, blocking any pathway for him to leave while at the same time demanding he leave not only the D.C. park but D.C. itself.

A security team intervened and escorted Posobiec out of the park. The team was sent by Kevin Corke, a White House Correspondent for Fox News.

It wasn’t enough for Posobiec to leave the park. The Antifa crowd followed Posobiec onto the street and continued to harass him. They threatened to capture his license plate if he went to his car and continued to prevent him from leaving. In the end, it took a police escort to get him out of the Antifa crowd.

That day, Antifa also harassed Daily Caller’s Vincent Shkreli who was there to film the Emancipation Memorial statute. The Antifa heckler told Shkreli he wasn’t allowed to film, to which Shkreli shot back that it was a public space.

Qver and over again as Antifa attacks grow in boldness — and gets support from a public that naively believes Antifa is not an extremist group — Antifa shows its intention: It wants control of the public space.

Here’s what they do with that public space in the short time they’ve gained traction after the George Floyd protests:

Antifa attacks aim to silence free speech. Antifa attacks harass and assault political opponents. Antifa attacks include ongoing psychological assaults, including creating segregated zones in territories they’ve taken over, like Seattle’s Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone (CHAZ) — now renamed CHOP (Capitol Hill Occupied Protest).

The issue is not whether or not one supports or agrees with individual journalists. The repeat pattern of Antifa attacks and harassment of American citizens is indicative of the larger desire to control the public space and push out ideological and political opponents. For anyone who still has doubts that Antifa is an “anti-fascist” movement, Antifa members are conducting themselves like the fascist extremists they claim to be against.

Andy Ngo is going to testify in Congress tomorrow about Antifa. He has experience, video evidence and has done a lot of research.

When attacked, the perps’ masks should be forced off.

Our country is under constant threat as long as the media remains almost solely leftist.

It’s like a communist country’s media. Except there they always support the guy who won because the elections are fake.

I don’t know how one rectifies that.

Social media worked great for a while and so of course now they are shutting down our side.

I hope that site parler gets more people. Has almost 2 million now

AG Barr reported that the DoJ classified Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization a while ago, maybe 2 weeks or around there. Time flies when you’re having fun so I can’t remember exactly when.

But isn’t twitter banning people and removing posts like facebook does? Can not educate if the info is not shown.
