Conservative activists driven from restaurant by antifa group
CNN ^ | 08/06/2018 | Annie Geng

Washington (CNN) Conservative activists Candace Owens and Charlie Kirk were accosted at a Philadelphia restaurant on Monday by protesters from a local antifa group.

Owens and Kirk, who lead the conservative super PAC Turning Point USA, had their breakfast at Green Eggs Café prematurely ended when protests erupted outside.

Owens told CNN that the protesters, who bore an antifa sticker, "immediately recognized" Kirk and her, and a much larger group approached the restaurant about 20 minutes later. She said the protesters began harassing and throwing things at Kirk and her from outside the restaurant.

Videos posted by Owens, who is black, and Kirk on Twitter depict an angry scene in which protesters recite chants such as "f--- white supremacy," "no good cops in a racist system" and "cops and Klan hand-in-hand."

In one video, Owens remarks to a black police officer that it is "bizarre" to her that "there are a bunch of white people saying 'no racists,' or 'no good cops,' when every single cop here is black."

Owens told CNN that the racial split of the scene was "jarring," with the mostly black and Hispanic police officers barricading Kirk and her from the white protesters.

“antifa” is a fascist criminal organization.

The KKK was founded as the military enforcement arm of the Democrat party. Antifa is just following this proud Democrat tradition.

This is a real racist attack. Owens is attacked BECAUSE she is a Negro on the premise that it is an execrable violation to be a Negro who does not loudly support Democrats.

Everyone has a camera on their phone. Use it. Video is best.

Three things: 1. it will cause them to hesitate and may even stop them; 2. useful as evidence if needed; 3. can be posted on the Internet for millions to see.

Where do they get these incredibly stupid chants? There was one chant that had KKK in it and you could see their jaws all bobbing up and down in time when they hit the KKK part. It made them look as if they were all having seizures.

So, neither of them were armed? Stupid.

Had it been me, there would have been at least 13 less Anitifa members in this world - just for starters.

Remember the guy who shot video of the Black Panthers with Clubs hanging out in front of the polling place?

That was in 2008. There were never any consequences.

CNN is intentionally pushing lies about conservatives in order to censor them.

Well it’s leading to attacks too. CNN should be facing class action lawsuits.

CNN are filthy degenerate cockroaches.

They had some explaining to do. I saw it along with millions of other people. It had a desired effect in the court of public opinion. Not a waste at all.

No, they’re a domestic terrorist cell. Should be expunged from our country, by any means.

I disagree with them in that they should have pressed charges.

“The Sturmabteilung is alive and well.”

Antifa are the modern day incarnation of the German communists of that era. SA was mostly freebooter/Freikorps WW1 battle hardened rough veterans. SA today would make hamburger out of these filthy democrats in black.

I’m truly surprised that CNN reported this. A good sign, in my opinion.

There has to be somebody to enforce it and law enforcement...as controlled by politicians..from the federal level down to podunk is utterly useless.
