mixing it up with the white supremacists. He was interviewed and gave his name and everything. He was not masked. The another was a woman educator of some kind on I think the west coast. She had no organization or anything.

I think some kids in Portland called themselves that going back to the G-7. Some of them maybe say they are AntiFa on social media and show up, but nothing organized like we see from those Patriot Front or Proud Boys. Not even close. You know if they could have found AntiFa operating like that they would have. They sure wanted to bad enough.
