“Various ANTIFA cells share a common belief in the
destruction of the Western system of democracy,
freedom of speech, freedom of press, free market
competition, freedom of religion, and rule of law…
Since 2016, ANTIFA’s target has become
President Donald Trump and his supporters.”
(Jack Posobiec, producer of documentary “Rise of the Black Flags”)

I witnessed about 30 ANTIFA with signs were present but they were kept away from harming the Trump supporters. Peaceful Proud Boys marched around the outside of rally keeping Antifa out.
