On Sunday, a photojournalist with WTVR, the Richmond, Virginia CBS affiliate, received staples for a head wound inflicted by a group of men who told him to “stop filming” a march through that city to protest Saturday’s Unite the Right rally of white nationalists and alt-right groups in Charlottesville, VA.
The men can be seen in a clip posted on Twitter by WVTR reporter Laura French waving, and possibly hitting the journalist with the classic “Antifaschistische Aktion” used by violent gangs of communist and anarchist street brawlers in Europe since the 1930s. These European-originating leftist groups, commonly referred to as “Antifa,” have grown in size and prominence on this side of the Atlantic in recent years.
The attack followed a similar incident Saturday during the Unite the Right rally the Richmond march was protesting. Suspected Antifa activists punched Taylor Lorenz, a female reporter from The Hill, as she tried to film their activities during the violent morass with white nationalist groups around the statue of Confederate General Robert E. Lee, leading to a local state of emergency being declared.
Breitbart News contacted the governor’s office repeatedly Monday, giving McAuliffe and his staff an opportunity to denounce Antifa violence against journalists. McAuliffe’s office gave no response.
By contrast, McAufille issued an extended denunciation of “Nazis” and “White Supremist [sic]” in the aftermath of Saturday’s aborted Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. Yet then, as Monday, McAuliffe refused, multiple times, to address reporters’ questions about Antifa and other left-wing extremists.

Yeah, the Left is going to parse that before attacking.
That’s because he wants violence. By not calling out the thugs with
bats, clubs, bottles, bricks, urine and flamethrowers he is encouraging
more violence. That’s what he wants. Violence.
CBS this morning lefties were fawning all over him this morning because he called for ALL civil war statues destroyed.
Gov. Terror McAuliffe supports fascist terrorists for Communism?
finger print and photo ID everybody
The nazis are going to show and they will be the warm up ass kickees before the commies get theirs.
And they're only doing what Loretta Lynch called for...blood in the streets.
Terry McAuliffe is just another murderous communist ANTIFAggot. All the democrats are; they just haven’t the guts to admit it.
Violence isn't on the "fringe" of the left. Violence is at the heart of the left.
“”They need to call on anyone attending protests masked to be immediately arrested””
Absolutely. It wasn’t too long ago that some riot/melee was taking place and the word was it was illegal to appear in the city (don’t remember where) with the face covered.
Couldn’t you just hear the cries if this was to be standard practice throughout the country? How about just putting a restriction on it in any city when an organized protest will take place? It wouldn’t have to be a law on the books.
That wouldn’t cover BLM when those fools can break out at a moment’s notice if someone sneezes in public. That report of such a law PROBABLY was when they were on the march in Ferguson etc...
Look for gun sales to the law obeying to ramp up as more info comes out about these left hate groups.
Democrats have to use terror from antifa to keep journalists from going rogue and actually REPORTING news
Exactly.
“”Stalinists starved over seven million Ukrainians - therefore all socialist and communists are the same as people who murdered millions of people...””
Makes sense....it’s what CNN has been claiming all week about ANYONE who dares say “both sides were complicit” in VA or who agrees with the president. “”If you arrive at a rally and see swastikas on signs and don’t leave, YOU ARE A RACIST!!”” GADS - were they born without the power of logic and common sense? Guess so!
Fine - call me a racist - (I’ve never been to a demonstration/protest in my life). We all worked through the turmoil of the sixties and watched the same kind of fools then and had no need to go through it again this late in life.
Call me a giraffe, I don’t care. It doesn’t make me one!
I’ll bet Terry loves Che.
7 million? That’s just the beginning of the butcher’s bill attributable to Communists.

Pretty sure real men, let alone these cowardly pajama boys, could not pick up an entire organization and slug someone with it.

Writer should be cited for thesaurus abuse.
I suspect that McAuliffe has had something to do with funding and/or organizing the Antifada. I don’t know why the DOJ doesn’t just follow the money.
