Antifa extremists recently clashed with police in Seattle after staging a counter-protest against a ‘Make America Great Again’ rally. Members of the far-left group were reportedly arrested Sunday in Westlake at the site of the demonstrations.
Video footage shows Antifa protesters chanting against pro-Trump supporters and holding the U.S. flag. Many of the Antifa members were uniformly dressed in all black with face coverings.

One of the group’s speakers, Joey Gibson, said he believed “true anti-fascism” is understanding freedom of speech must come with threat of violence. He had this to say:
“You”re willing to stand up for what you believe in, that you will not allow people to silence you anymore, right? That’s real fascism, that’s real fascism. We’re not going to stand for it, the right to say what you believe in without a threat of violence, that is true anti-fascism. Can I get a amen?”
No serious injuries were reported at those demonstrations.
