Before we get to deep into the weeds on this next news story, let's make something clear: this is just a report. We have no idea if this is true because at the time of this blog post being published the incidents in this report have not yet occurred. It's simply a prediction.
That being said, we have a credible report that suggests Antifa members will be showing up at the gun-rights rally in Virginia today and posing as gun-rights activists in an effort to create chaos.
Conservative author and activist Tom DeWeese claims he has received credible information suggesting Antifa members are planning to stage violence in Virginia later today and blame it on pro-gun protesters.
Thousands of demonstrators are expected to attend the rally in Richmond which will be tightly policed by officers enforcing a gun free zone after Gov. Ralph Northam passed an executive order banning firearms on site.
Reports last week confirmed that Antifa members would be in attendance at the rally but that they would be marching in support of the Second Amendment.
However, DeWeese claims he has received intel suggesting Antifa members are planning to dress up as Trump supporters and stage false flag violence in order to demonize conservative protesters.
We'll find out if this report is true later today.
