CNN propagandist falsely claims Antifa ‘widely perceived as an African-American’ group — Video
On Tuesday, CNN propagandist Jeffrey Toobin spread a demonstrably fake claim that the far-left terror group Antifa is “widely perceived as an African-American organization” and went so far as to say that any criticism of the group is based on President Donald Trump’s “appeal to racism.”
“Let’s be clear also about what’s going on here, the theme here is ‘I’m Donald Trump and I’ll protect you from the scary black people,'” he said. “Antifa is widely perceived as an African-American organization and this is just part of the same story of LeBron James and Don Lemon and Maxine Waters and the NFL players and the UCLA basketball players.”
Writing at the Daily Wire, Ryan Saavedra observed that while Antifa activists generally wear black, the group is hardly considered to be African-American.
In fact, he said, “video from a CNN special report suggests that Antifa is overwhelmingly comprised of young, white people.”
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
And, he added, “reports from CNN, The Washington Post, and USA Today make no mention of Antifa being a black group at all.”
So where did Toobin get this bit of fake news? We can speculate, but won’t do so here, given that this is a family-friendly site… We’ll leave that to your imagination.
Reaction on Twitter was pretty much what one might expect:
The wheels are coming off!

Funny, Every ANTIFA member I seen, has been a white person, trying to disguise their identity

Amazing how that works out, isn’t it?
Here’s the video:
Incidents like this, by the way, are the reason why CNN has been dubbed the least-trusted name in network news.
