Attorney General Barr says foreign groups, extremists stoking divisions in U.S. protests

WASHINGTON — U.S. Attorney General William Barr said on Thursday that foreign interests and "extremist agitators" affiliated with groups like Antifa have sought to widen divisions in U.S. society following the death of a black man at the hands of a white police officer.

"We have seen evidence that Antifa and other similar extremist groups as well as actors of a variety of different political persuasions have been involving in instigating and participating in violent activity," Barr said at a news conference.

"We are also seeing foreign actors playing all sides," he said.

Barr said federal agents have made 51 arrests so far for charges involving violent activity.

I think that when it was shown that the Europa white nationalist group was behind a phony Antifa twitter post, that was trending in trumplandia due to its call to violence, they went to plan b. The foreigners are aiding BLM. Thinking they can distract from the help Russia has been giving them.
