“To Savannah, I sincerely apologize but cannot sit around and allow you to continue pushing this one sided narrative. I understand hands being put on someone is never the answer, but throwing rocks and hiding hands is worse,” Rivers wrote in a Facebook post.

“She knows the truth and she needs to release the footage in its entirety. Savannah is a professional antagonist not a ‘reporter’ and the truth will be told.”

Rivers shared a note accusing Craven Antao of intentionally antagonizing her during their man-on-the-street interview in Harlem, in which Craven Antao repeatedly cut the pro-choice Rivers off while she spoke.

Rivers also accused Craven Antao of editing the footage to remove what she called “relentless antagonization” and the moments leading up to the sucker punch.

Anyone who knows me knows how respectful I am, I don’t even litter, there’s no way you believe I’m punching people for disagreeing with my POV.

Which is exactly what you did.

You should be arrested and convicted of assault.

This is b/c lefty judges let them get away with burning down cities, throwing molotov cocktails at police stations, assaulting police officers, destroying businesses and public property to the tune of billions of dollars.

How many of them are in jail or prison for burning cities to the ground in 2020? Held accountable for their actions? - judges released them en masse.

Now compare that with the J-6ers who did none of the above - and are STILL being put away by corrupt TDS judges.

That Is all that the left have to fight with anymore... sucker punches -

they can’t fight fight fair and have to strike out at unsuspecting weaker opponents when they least expect it! They are cowards and cheaters and liars, who don’t have truth or any sense of common decency their side , and they become violent thugs as a result.

They are demon driven criminals who have learned that an equally demon driven liberals justice system will protect them 100% IF they check all the right “protected class” boxes.

Okay, I give up. What does “hiding hands” mean?

Glad she identified herself. She made filing charges SO much easier.

Looking at the video, you’d thought that Savannah got Briannas fast food order wrong.

‘hands being put on someone’


Wrong.
Someone’s face hit her hands. There, corrected.

Savages are easily provoked into violence, that doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be prosecuted and punished for it.
