After spending weeks running
op-eds about the value of political violence against those with whom Antifa
disagrees, The Washington Post finally
covered an Antifa riot honestly: as a violent attack on peaceful demonstrators.
Their headline: “Black-clad antifa members attack peaceful right-wing
demonstrators in Berkeley.”
Here’s the Post:
Their faces hidden behind
black bandannas and hoodies, about 100 anarchists and antifa— “anti-fascist” —
members barreled into a protest Sunday afternoon in Berkeley’s Martin Luther
King Jr. Civic Center Park. Jumping over plastic and concrete barriers, the
group melted into a larger crowd of around 2,000 that had marched peacefully
throughout the sunny afternoon for a “Rally Against Hate” gathering. Shortly
after, violence began to flare. A pepper-spray-wielding Trump supporter was
smacked to the ground with homemade shields. Another was attacked by five black-clad antifa members, each windmilling kicks and punches into
a man desperately trying to protect himself. A conservative group leader retreated for safety behind a line of riot police as
marchers chucked water bottles, shot off pepper spray and screamed, “Fascist go
home!”
The media have heretofore
pretended that Antifa is merely an anti-fascist group, responding only to
violence. That’s been a full lie for well over a year. Antifa’s violence and
threats of violence have been well documented in locations ranging from
Sacramento to Berkeley to Portland. And the media have covered for them,
because Antifa’s very presence gives the lie to the left-wing talking point
that right-wing violence is the only serious political danger to the nation.
It isn’t.
The question is whether
the Post will continue with its honest coverage, or will
revert to the same sort of “both sides” routine they decried from President
Trump on Charlottesville. That, in fact, was the only part of Trump’s remarks
that deserved accolades: his willingness to state openly and truthfully that
violence came from both sides in Charlottesville. Antifa is a blight, and the
Leftist media’s obsession with excusing their violations of civilized behavior
in pursuit of dragon-slaying supposed Nazis must stop.
