This is a Master Class in Gaslighting.

What a disgrace this is. Let us not talk about the actions of Trump, let us talk about how terrible Democrats and the news media have been to Donald Trump and talk about the terrible things they do.

Surely he could have supplied a name. I can't find any source for what he claimed. Anybody?

He was arrested after the Capitol riot, and he isn't an antifa leader. He's tried to associate himself with the BLM and antifa movements, but in fact, he's been disavowed by BLM and antifa groups as a possible agent provocateur and a grifter. Oh, and his brother is a co-founder of a pro-Trump organization and has strong ties to the Proud Boys.

This is the only "evidence" I've seen of any antifa involvement, and it's very weak.
