There is a plethora of lies about antifa out there.
If you want one from just the last couple of days.
Prominent misinformation "journalist" Andy Ngo tweeted that "Antifa attacked people on a bus. They try to pull them out and hit them with a hammer."
This myth was spread wide and far by Ngo's far right fanbase.
However, looking at the actual evidence of the rally, we get a completely different story.
The Bus was being used by a group called "The American Guard" a far-right paramilitary group. The members of the paramilitary pulled an antifascist into the bus and then assaulted the member with a hammer. Other anti-fascists then pulled the assaulted person out of the bus, and tried to wrestle the weapon away from the fascists. All photo evidence corroborates this.
But, Andy Ngo does what far-right reporters do. They turn fascist violence into bad publicity for the left rather than honestly reporting on his buddies terrorist actions.
Antifa was throwing concrete blocks they brought themselves in pest control boxes. You are only hearing one side of the spin. Both groups came looking and armed for violence. Portland's mayor is weak.
