Attorney General Bill Barr told reporters Thursday the Department of Justice now has evidence the Antifa movement is attempting to “hijack” the George Floyd protests to promote their far-left radical agenda.
“Attorney General Bill Barr announced Thursday that investigations of recent violence spinning out of protests yielded evidence that not only are various political organizations taking advantage of the unrest for their own ends, but that ‘foreign actors’ and others are also getting involved,” reports Fox News.

ANTIFA ARREST: DC Antifa Leader Charged with ‘Terroristic Threats’ and ‘Ethnic Intimidation’
A local Antifa leader from the Washington, DC area was arrested on “multiple felony charges” in Philadelphia earlier this month, with authorities saying the man was wanted for an attack against two Marines late last year.
The anarchist activist now “faces 17 charges, including multiple counts of aggravated assault, ethnic intimidation, conspiracy and terroristic threats, and one count of robbery while inflicting serious bodily injury,” writes the Daily Caller.
The man is reportedly an organizer with Smash Racism DC, an Antifa-related organization behind the left-wing mob that attacked Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s DC home months ago.
The group was also responsible for accosting Sen. Ted Cruz and his wife as they dined in a Washington restaurant.

“Does Google consider itself a neutral public forum? Are you familiar with a report that was released yesterday that included a whistleblower, videos, and documents? Have you seen the report?” asked Cruz.
“No, I have not,” said the Executive.
“One of the things in that report, there’s a video from a woman -the head of Responsible Innovation for Google- saying ‘All these companies will be charged with preventing the next Trump situation.’ […] Another whistleblower said, ‘Google is bent on never letting somebody like Donald Trump come to power again,’” he added.
