Antifa's been blamed for stoking Minneapolis riots,vandalismhttps://t.co/KiVDGMFBQc— Paul Sperry (@paulsperry_) May 29, 2020
And a bit from the linked article, from Jan.2018:
Keith Ellison invites antifa to the party
Maybe the Democratic Partys No. 2 was just joking about antifa violence. Or maybe he supports it. On Wednesday, Rep. Keith Ellison (D-Minn.), the Democratic National Committees deputy chair, tweeted a photo of himself cheekily smiling with a copy of Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook. His caption: I just found the book that strike [sic] fear in the heart of @realdonaldtrump. Obnoxious and wrong: Violence prompts moderates to support the side being attacked against the one violating civic norms. Antifa helps Trump. Yet it also plays well on the left, feeding fantasies of a serious threat from right-wing extremists. And Ellison, who spent years defending the odious Louis Farrakhan, is a radical who gains from that polarization.
no one goes to jail for inciting riots. Omar did it yesterday, but then she should have been deported already
I’d put nothing past that scumbag Ellison, but if in fact he is directly involved in this - to the extent that a high profile person like him can be identified - that just shows the degree of desperation they are operating from.
Thanks LJ, for better information about the link.
