In an apparent response to receiving political heat for her public statements defaming Patriot Prayer and inciting Antifa violence against this peaceful, multiracial group, Rep. Nancy Pelosi has become the first nationally prominent “progressive” Democrat to issue a statement denouncing the masked Antifa thugs stalking our campuses and city streets. However, other leading Democrats — Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Dianne Feinstein, to name but a few — have remained stubbornly silent, in the face of escalating Antifa violence.
Pelosi (shown) released a statement late in the evening of August 29 condemning violence by members of the Antifa movement during protests in Berkeley on August 27. “Our democracy has no room for inciting violence or endangering the public, no matter the ideology of those who commit such acts,” Pelosi, who represents San Francisco, said in the statement. “The violent actions of people calling themselves Antifa in Berkeley this weekend deserve unequivocal condemnation, and the perpetrators should be arrested and prosecuted.”
Numerous videos posted on Internet sites show a large mob of aggressive Antifa activists — many wearing masks and armed with clubs and other weapons — cursing, screaming at, and without provocation, physically attacking Patriot Prayer leader Joey Gibson and the small group of attendees at the “Say No To Marxism Rally” organized by Gibson.
Several Patriot Prayer members were viciously beaten. In all, 13 people were arrested and two people were taken to the hospital, according to news reports.
