A fake antifa Twitter account that called for violence was actually run by a white nationalist group, according to a Twitter spokesperson. The account, "@ANTIFA_US," pretended to align with the Black Lives Matter movement and ongoing nationwide protests, and called for protesters to "move into residential areas... the white hoods.... and we take what's ours."
Twitter banned the account Monday for breaking its rules against platform manipulation, spam, and inciting violence.A Twitter account that claimed to represent a national antifa organization and that urged protesters to loot "white" neighborhoods was actually run by white nationalist group Identity Evropa, according to a Twitter spokesperson.
The account, which posted under the handle "@ANTIFA_US," falsely aligned itself with ongoing Black Lives Matter protests nationwide. One tweet that called for protesters to "move into residential areas" and "take what's ours" was retweeted hundreds of times as of Sunday night.
Could this also have anything to do with the looting threats against Queens neighborhoods four weeks ago? I always thought that there was something fishy about it. JimmyVanBramer AOC sunnysidepost JacksonHtsLife NYDailyNews
DwarvenPolitics Twitter will do anything to cover for the groups funded by the deep state just like they are! Facebook too! Watch the video from Project Veritas about Facebook and see if they aren't targeting conservatives for yourself. Don't believe everything you hear from the MSM! QAnon
Business insider lies, repeatedly. Dropping these liars!

1) No evidence for who did it 2) was a very small new account 3) posted same kind of posts that official antifa does. Not relevant at all. Google cache link:

KimberlyStarne7 Classic. They will keep using these dumb tactics to divide. The FBI should lock them down. Spy the Far right movements.
the only thing FAKE is BI , you guys are worse than CNN, and that's bad.
BS!

I mean, even toddlers that make-pretend calls with phones would have been able to tell it was fake. The worst thing an admin govt should do itself is get disconnected from its own people.
Classic. Straight out of the Kremlin playbook. But America is not going fall for this fascist bull%$ again. The jig is up.
I would be curious to know why a white nationalist group would call on all Antifa members to start looting white neighborhoods. something doesn’t sound quite right here. Maybe bc it’s bull & the narrative is a false flag. Key DNC people are tied to Antifa & it’s all coming out.
SO nationalist destroyed their own historical monuments, supremacist destroying their own economy and making sure their supremacist kids won't have any food or future because they want to frame antifa REALLY !!! hummmm sarcasm
Very interesting they’re about to be labeled as terrorist groups and this story about one account is all over msm.
How can antifa says 'white hoods'? Antifa its againts racism
And “Twitter said so” is your evidence? Beyond laughable

🙄 prove it
To smear the anti-racist protests
The oldest trick in the book. Who’s surprised by this?
Anyone asking for something other than a peaceful protest should be ignored.
In other words, .realDonaldTrump 's buddies and accomplices in crime run.
