The darker, perhaps more dangerous allegation in the video, besides the common refrain among conservatives that the Washington Post is a “fake news outlet,” is the insinuation that recent violent protests are the work of popular Democratic politicians and activists, who “organize anarchy” and do the work of the “violent left” (or, at very least, not condemn violent protest). The video implies that Senator Al Franken, Senator Chuck Schumer and podcaster and activist DeRay McKesson are somehow responsible for recent anarchist black blocs.
