Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Promotes Fundraiser For Boston Protesters Associated With Antifa

New York Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez promoted a fundraiser for bail money for a group of counter-protesters that included Antifa members after a "Straight Pride" parade in Boston, Massachusetts, this weekend.

"One way to support the local LGBTQ community impacted by Boston's white supremacist parade? Contribute to the Bail Fund for the activists who put themselves on the line protecting the Boston community," Rep. Ocasio-Cortez said in a social media post Saturday.

36 individuals were arrested Saturday with numerous charges of "Assault and battery on a police officer," and one juvenile arrested for "Assault and battery by means of a dangerous weapon," according to the Boston Herald.

Boston PD has released log of arrested individuals from Saturday's antifa counter-protest against the Straight Pride.

The "Straight Pride Parade," which took place in Boston Saturday, was planned by Super Happy Fun America, a group which "Advocates on behalf of the straight community."

Antifa groups across the United States have engaged in violence with many conservatives and journalists in general in recent years.

In 2018, an NBC News crew was attacked by Antifa members in Charlottesville, Virginia, and reporter Andy Ngo was hospitalized in June after being assaulted by Antifa in Portland, Oregon.
