As I reported on Tuesday night, End Wokeness decided to check in on Defiance.org's alternative to the State of the Union address, called the State of the Swamp. As I wrote, the stage was crowded with people in inflatable frog costumes, and Jim Acosta even joined some of the people in the audience in wearing a frog hat on stage.
I had thought maybe they'd whipped up the frog costumes to underpin the "swamp" theme, but according to what I thought was a local news broadcast, but turns out to be a TikTok video from CNN, educated me on the Portland Frog Brigade.
"I am present here to show Donald Trump and Republicans that we, the people, want them to uphold the Constitution," said a woman in a pink frog costume with "Amphifa" written across the front.
The interviewer also talked to Slurmit the Frog, who didn't give his real name and wore a mask to explain that "the frog has become a symbol of resistance." I didn't know that. I did know that there was somebody dressed as a rainbow unicorn protesting outside an ICE detention facility.

Is it just me, or is it hard to take someone seriously who's dressed as a frog?
President Trump was right … these people are crazy.
Reminder that the “Portland Frog Brigade,” is literally Antifa. I saw them in action on the ground, they wear the costume to evade being identified and to pretend to be playful and wholesome. They are neither. https://t.co/dfd3wccF0D

I bet @MrAndyNgo has details on who these degenerates are.

He does. Here's a guy who goes by the handle "the_queertoad" and posted to social media, "Someone just needs to bomb this administration. This government needs to burn and a bullet needs to be put in every on of Trump's cronies heads."
On Jan. 8, a mob of far-left rioters gathered outside the Portland ICE facility to launch an attack as revenge for violent Tren de Aragua suspects being shot in an attempted car-ramming attack. Six people were arrested.

Seth Todd, the self-identified Antifa terrorist who is… pic.twitter.com/D6z2lfnnus
The post continues:
… praised by liberals for starting the frog costume trend, was arrested for interfering with a peace officer and second-degree disorderly conduct. Todd has stated in interviews that he is not a peaceful person. On social media, he urges terror attacks and killings of his political targets. Todd was quickly released without bail.
So the guy who started the frog costume trend, which the Democrats happily picked up on for their State of the Union protest event, wants to put a bullet in the heads of all of Trump's cronies. And elected officials shared a stage with these lunatics.
Last night was definitely an Antifa rally. I totally noticed with eyes wide open.

Antifa is just an idea.
I thought disguising yourself was a bad thing. I can't keep up!

If this is what “winning” looks like to them, I think folks might want to change teams. 🤣

There’s no way this can be real. If it is, humanity is way more screwed than we thought.

The Portland Frog Brigade hasn't been the same since the water turned them gay https://t.co/baGW2PaSlR pic.twitter.com/E1amBLB6e0

How is this real?… these people are ridiculous and weak… and completely out of touch. Wow.

Someone asked who paid to fly them all from Portland to Washington, D.C., so they could dance around with Acosta and Robert De Niro.
Yes, they're Antifa, and Democrat politicians were happy to share the stage with them. Thanks, CNN, for interviewing a masked Antifa member before the State of the Union.
