Attention progressive journalists: Find the McConnell heckler (possible GOP hoax)

In this post, I analyze the latest video purporting to show a liberal yelling at Mitch McConnell, and reasons to believe it is a staged:

1) Republicans were just caught in a staged anti-Pelosi "protest" lead by the leader of the Miami GOP. The attempt to blame it on a spontaneous act by Cuban Americans backfired as even Marco Rubio repudiated the fake protest in Twitter.
Getting this out of the news with a fake liberal "harassing" McConnell was necessary.

2) The video was first aired by TMZ, an outlet owned by Trump supporter and fixer Harvey Levin.

3) The alleged genuine protester seen on the video has not been identified by name. I'm hereby calling on progressive journalists to find this possible Republican hoaxer. His name should be released so that everyone can verify his ideology and connections.

He's the leader of the Proud Boys, the group that put on the staged Pelosi event.

..Honduras, the "caravan" making it's way. Images have flooded MSM. Yes, people, families, children are suffering and it is plausaible that they would seen refuge in Mexico, US or Canada...who wouldn't; we would, que no? To protect our families, for a better life? Yet two weeks before elections trump and his racist propaganda aparatus seemed prepared to take it on--full blown racist fog horn for all to hear--instill fear in the base, that strangers are coming to get them, their jobs, homes, replace them.of course all lies. Someone on du suggested that itsbpossiblr that they...were given an incentive, perhaps free work visas..perhaps fliars, word of mouth..because now you have thousands headed our way; then the McConnell incident ..given what republicans have always done..lie, cheat, steal elections add to the mix, the odious racist traitor and self admitted sexual predator and con man in WH....anything is possible..they need to feed their base, instill fear; lie about liberal's; threats, voter suppression --two weeks before the election and they're desperare..they are capable of anything!
