We've been reading about Antifa tormenting, harassing, and even terrorizing journalists like Andy Ngo for years. Still, something this editor didn't necessarily consider is how the now domestic terrorist group treated photographers who were trying to document their 'efforts' across the country.

Antifa is just like Covid.

It gave assholes permission to be themselves.
This may well be the smartest post we've seen today.
And she's spot on.
We underestimate the DSA, which gives cover, paves the way for, and actively glorifies political violence.https://t.co/qf51wDDDRT

Interesting point.
Because God forbid there’s evidence that shows the actual narrative instead of the one they want to present.
