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.
Stupid to show up by yourself and a security guy. Good way to get maimed or killed.
Who is the black guy protecting Jack? I’ve seen him on other vids.
Great guy.
When this enters a new phase and they desecrate the churches and residential neighborhoods because this is the only thing left to destroy, the guns come out and they will pay the price. Only the PEOPLE can solve this because the governments hands are self tied behind thier backs the PEOPLES hands are free
I had lost what respect I once had for Cork after he started showing up in ghetto garb for his reporting stints on the DC riots. I’m impressed that he used his security team to rescue an OAN reporter.
Yes. How would they know?
good comment on the tweet:
“Riot police need to be spraying these rioters with pink/purple dye with unique chemical signatures - similar to bag dye banks use when robbed. IDing these criminals will then become much quicker/easier.”
If there are any citizens who think these Antifa animals are not subversives, then maybe they should be classed as subject to arrest along with them.
These thugs are terrorists. It’s a shame we don’t have a huge number of Antifa funerals.
