Was this true?
No. This type of rumor is being spread across the country about people marching in remembrance of George Floyd. Not only is there no evidence to support it, the claims inaccurately portray Antifa as an organized terrorist group.
What is Antifa? Antifa, short for anti-fascist, is a collection of far-left groups that rally against white supremacy and other causes. Unlike many other organizations, antifa doesnt have an official membership, leader or base for operations.
Antifa is more like a scene than an organization, said Joan Donovan, director of the Shorenstein Center on Media Politics and Public Policy at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government.
Anarchists around the globe participate in music and culture, hosting book fairs, art shows, workshops, and music nights, Donovan said. Thats about as organized as it gets, but when we see Antifa or black bloc emerge, it is to counter the far right organizing in public.
Did you actually write your post...or just copy it?

LOL!
Interesting technique. Under the guise of examining one narrow and specific fact set, they claim to debunk the Soros connection to Antifa and the existence of Antifa itself. If perchance, a reader were unconvinced by this rhetorical trickery, they slip in that if Antifa should exist, it’s more akin to a book club or a quilting bee than an army of brownshirts.
>>Antifa may be heading into the wealthy neighborhoods tonight to take what should be theirs,<<
So a bunch of rich white kids are going to raid their own neighborhoods.
What Politi”fact” says should be presumed false. Most, if not all, of what they claim is false here are things they know to be true, but those things aren’t allowed to be true, so they’re not, even if they are.
Love it when the Media categorically declares something “FALSE” when there’s no proof. Case in point: George Soros funding ANTIFA. How would WRAL know one way or the other? Wouldn’t it be more accurate to say “Not Proven”? Because I don’t think WRAL has George’s bank records.
They sure are covering for antifa, arent they?
