A new viral video that has surfaced online appears to show a teacher lecturing her students about the recent Capitol riots. In the clip, the teacher claims that Antifa were the ones who actually invaded the Capitol, rather than supporters of President Donald Trump and members of far-right groups like the Proud Boys.


The video was posted on the Instagram account @KnowYourRacists earlier this week, and it has received over 19,000 views. It was also shared to the r/WorldNewsVideo subreddit, where it received over 5,000 upvotes and was subsequently shared to other subreddits.

The @KnowYourRascists caption appears to have been written by the student who filmed the video; the caption alleges that the teacher began speaking on the subject of the Capitol riots, unprompted, in a class that has nothing to do with current events, Language Arts. "[S]he just RANDOMLY started talking about this in 1st period, it was language arts class and we were about to do work when she started talking about the Capitol raid," the caption reads.

As seen in the video, the teacher claims that the scene at the Capitol was peaceful until members of Antifa showed up. In actuality, there appears to be no credible evidence that anyone associated with Antifa—which is an umbrella term used to refer to far-left militant groups that demonstrate against white supremacism—was present for the storming of the Capitol building, or that they were posing as Trump supporters that day in Washington, D.C.
