A large Antifa mob attacked a group of pro-Trump attendees of a Free Speech Rally held at Twitter’s headquarters in San Francisco. One video shows one of the men wearing black bloc sucker-punching one of the event organizers, a Black man. At least two people sustained injuries requiring medical attention during the attack.
About one dozen conservative activists wearing “Make American Great Again” hats staged a Free Speech Rally and Protest on Saturday outside Twitter’s San Francisco headquarters building, the Associated Press reported. The group gathered to protest Twitter’s suppression of conservative speech.
One video shot as the protest fell into chaos shows a group of Antifa antagonists attacking a Black man who appeared to be shielding one of the white conservatives. As the video streams, a man wearing black bloc suddenly appears from the left side of the screen and punches the Black man in the face. The mob continues to chase the two men as they move to a police barricade for protection.

The man later identified himself as Philip Anderson with Team Save America, one of the Free Speech Rally and Protest organizers. He tweeted a photo showing one of his front teeth missing and the other hanging by a thread. “Antifa attacked me for no reason,” he tweeted.

Anderson told the AP these “counterprotester hypocrites” are the reason why he is voting for President Donald Trump.
“I love America, I love this country and I love free speech,” Anderson said.
