A Trump supporter who interrupted a Christmas Mass to rant about “Pizzagate” was beaten up over the weekend by anti-fascist activists during a Philadelphia political demonstration.

Howard Caplan — a 48-year-old self-professed conspiracy theorist who gained notoriety by carrying “Hillary 4 prison” signs around the city — went Sunday to protest a demonstration calling for the impeachment of President Donald Trump, reported the Philly Voice.

The slogan was popularized by Alex Jones’ InfoWars website, and Caplan promotes “Pizzagate” and other conspiracy theories discussed by the Trump-backing broadcaster.

Caplan said he was attacked by three men he identified as members of Antifa, after they asked him “in a really nice way” about the Trump 2020 he was carrying to “troll” the protesters.

“Next thing I know, I’m on the ground,” Caplan told the Voice. “Felt like they hit me in the head with a bottle. They were stomping me a bit while I was fighting them off. They scattered. I looked around, disoriented, thought they stole my backpack but they didn’t.”

Here he is:

[Squinch]

1. I'm going to need a lot more proof than this loon's word for it.

[emulatorloo]

4. Yeah, not known for his credibility or integrity

[Warpy]

9. Yeah, it sounds like he tripped over his own two feet

or otherwise hit the ground under his own power.

POIDH, asshole, you know people had their cell phones out.

[Squinch]

13. "They were stomping me a bit." How do you stomp someone "a bit?" My guess:

he fell and someone tripped over him.

[rzemanfl]

2. While I am skeptical, I must observe he is not a girl. n/t

[Jim Beard]

5. Attention seeker all the way around

[louis-t]

3. Are you sure he didn't just fall down the stairs, drunk?

I remember a roommate I had who swore he got in a fight the night before. My neighbor came over the next day and told me he was standing in the back of a pickup in a drunken stupor and fell off.

[superpatriotman]

6. False flag

Wake up sheeple.

[hadEnuf]

7. Suuuure it was Antifa, asshole.

Probably beaten up by his wife who's had enough of his obnoxious insanity.

Trump is the empowerer of assholes everywhere.

[Docreed2003]

8. Considering Antifa is largely anarchists and not liberals

He'd be hard pressed, that is if this "assault" even happened, to pin that on the left.

[Vogon_Glory]

10. He wasn't beaten, He was invited for tea

Someone misunderstood as to whether he wanted some lumps.

Maybe next time James O'Keefe can have some germ tea.

[Brother Buzz]

11. There's no 'B' in Antifa

[Solly Mack]

12. Ha! Excellent!

[angstlessk]

14. Is that a diaper on his head?

Where are the hospital reports?

[mythology]

15. If true, that's not a good thing

That said, proof is needed.

[Warren DeMontague]

16. Another winner from the winner's circle

edited to add: I don't condone violence in any way, of course, however I assume anyone who goes on and on about shit like "pizzagate" has a default setting of full of shit, until proven otherwise.

[Stinky The Clown]

17. Fuck him if he was attacked. Fuck him if he wasn't. Just fuck him.
