In the days since some violence broke out on Sunday between a group of black-clad leftist activists and a small number of right-wing and/or libertarian activists who showed up in downtown Berkeley — despite Cummings having tried to call off the rally she’d initially organized — multiple politicians have given statements condemning the actions of the anti-fascist and anarchist activists, who were shown in multiple videos chasing down, beating, and pepper-spraying those who they saw as adversaries. Nancy Pelosi even spoke out Tuesday saying she thought that any violent protesters should be jailed and prosecuted.
