Ainsley, as attorney General
Ainsley, as attorney General
Barr, testified before the House
Judiciary Committee yesterday.
He emphasized that Antifa is
indeed real.
Contradicting claims from
committee Chairman Jerry Nadler
over the weekend,
violence across the whole
country.
You denounce violence happening
by Antifa in Portland,
thatS, a myth being spread
only in Washington D, DOT C
about Antifa in Portland.
Yes,
sir, there is videos
everywhere online.
There is fires and riots.
They are throwing fireworks at
federal officers
DHS. Is there
look online
crazy, Mr Nadler
Ainsley im joined now by the
man questioning the congressman
in that video
Youtube host Austin Fletcher,
Hey Austin,
Hey Ainsley, thanks for
having me
Ainsley, you are welcome.
Your view has been all over the
place.
How did you get that interview?
To be honest, I was driving an
uber with my friends and I guess
Mr Nadler was waiting for his
uber outside
and he was probably outside for
five total minutes.
We happened to be passing at
that time.
We got out
had a game plan took a picture
and you know did the interview,
just as you saw it
Ainsley. Sometimes this is how
careers are made.
What is your platform?
What do you do?
Im a youtubeer. I started my
channel three years ago, Fletcher
talks.
I startedtalk Fleccas talks
giving automatic credibility to
the protesters.
I never saw many people going
out and actually asking them to
explain their positions
and the first video I made went
pretty viral.
The right was pretty starved of
this type of content.
I found my place like an
advocate
political advocate, but also a
person who could encourage
others to get involved as well
very low production. Making. My
videos is very easy.
I use my phone,
so I wanted to kind of encourage
people to take the power of the
media away from the corporate
establishment.
Ainsley. Okay,
so lets talk about what Nadler
said
he said. Antifa is a myth and you
said basically, its all over the
internet.
You can see the fires
you can see the organization.
Were you surprised by his
response
I was.
I was
because, at the end of the day,
political violence should be
disavowed by both sides.
It shouldnt be a partisan
issue.
Hearing Mr Nadler say its a
myth. It really made me question
his motives and honestly his
agenda.
We see the for the last sixty plus
nights. We have seen the footage
online, its going viral.
I think the echo chambers are
the bigger problem here.
The right is sighing the fires,
the Molotov cocktails,
the fireworks,
the attacks on police.
The left is seeing the other
framing of it, where its
veterans and mothers getting
tear gassed by storm troopers.
The reality is somewhere in the
middle.
Mr Nadler, in the situation, is
relying on echo chambers to keep
the people. To be honest, the
apolitical people asleep and
assuming yeah im center
center left
still a Democrat.
The bad guys are the other side.
We see these videos going viral
the daily caller crew. Those
people have been in Portland in
the action in Seattle, showing us
on a daily basis. Whats really
going on
here, Mr Nadler say its a myth.
I thought it would be better if
he would have said hey im, not
doing interviews today
Ainsley as soon as it turned to.
