It's sickening how Trump supporters are targeted, harassed and attacked by left wing radicals. Shouldn't we all be condemning these acts, that the MSM such as CNN usually refrain from making public?
It was hard to tell who was who or who was on whose side. Senseless violence from idiots. Trump has absolutely zero chance of winning in New York anyway, so the idea of having a caravan of Trump supporters - or the idea of attacking such a caravan - is completely irrational, unproductive, stupid, and will have absolutely zero effect on the outcome of the election.
New Yorkers...and they think they're so sophisticated and so much more cultured than the rest of us out in the provinces.
Do we actually know this was anti-fa or just more wanting to call anything and everything that voices strong opposition to the Right as antifa?
That claims seems even less probable, as the "everyday, run of the mill, left wing Biden supporter" isn't out doing this. And they certainly aren't radicals.I totally agree, hence my title... No, these are just everyday, run of the mill, left wing Biden supporters.
It is being reported and condemned by the Media AFAIK.

But look how CNN tries to use rhetoric to make it look like the caravan started things... They make this claim first, to make it look like Trump supporters were the agitators, even though the man only got out if the car because his daughter was being attacked through an open window, all after having paint thrown at them, eggs, and other objects... And then CNN says they reached out to Jews For Trump for comment, to continue to paint them as guilty.
"When the caravan met the group of counterprotesters in Times Square, some of the Trump supporters got out of their cars and came to blows with the other protesters, the law enforcement official said.
CNN has reached out to Jews For Trump for comment."

Which is why instead of buying into the divisive rhetoric, you check your news off multiple sources, to see the overarching frame of things.
I'm not sure what you're getting at. I asked if we actually know this was antifa, or if the name just got thrown out there like it often does.Who are these people then? The Russians?
*sighs*
it's just so aggrevating how the media walks so close to the edge of lies, yet doesn’t cross it. And it’s done intentionally.
The Trump supporters seemed to be the ones in support of law and order, where the leftists were in favor of chaos and violence.
I'm not sure what you're getting at. I asked if we actually know this was antifa, or if the name just got thrown out there like it often does.
Then you said the person is a typical Biden supporter.
And now you bring in the Russians?
The video you linked to does.Yes, I want you to tell me who these people are. I never said it was ANTIFA... I actually went out of my way not to describe them that way.
The video you linked to does.
You know how youtube is...
But in all honesty, it would probably be to the left's benefit to disown these people, and cast them off as some fringe type's.
I'd rather laugh at feeble RW attempts at labeling everything LW with an attitude as antifa. Especially when those with the attitude showing up are RW brutes (who get people calling the police to report them, as antifa, even though the brutes were invited to fight off antifa - that story is my favorite of them all). Or they just invoke the name antifa when violence does become involved. Really, I don't even think what they say should have a capital A, because Antifa is a real thing, but all these cries and panics about antifa, it's really no different than the Christians wanting to blame a devil or the Devil for their woes. As an abstract idea it can paint all sorts of images, but all they are are images. It's not real. Demon possession can explain bipolar disorder or seizures, but that's not actually what's going on. Humans are tempted to do things they shouldn't. No devil needed. Here lately RW invocations of antifa are basically the same. A false narrative to explain the world. Sure, some riots happened. But typically they are started by opportunistic weasels, and from there it's psych 101 with group behavior.You know how youtube is...
