Jesse Watters tried to make a protester he dubbed "Antifa Kermit" look menacing. I added the words of Secretary of Homeland Security describing Antifa along with some footage of Antifa protesters from an ABC affiliate Local 10 News. The music is royalty free.🎶🪩💃🕺

A round black lava rock sits in a shallow indentation with seawater on a smooth sandy beach

Clouds and blue sky are seen at the top of a window frame that is mostly covered by a bottom window shade.

In the past week, a White pastor was shot in the face with a pepper ball and a White reporter was handcuffed and detained by federal officers.

Congratulations, America.
