New York A Twitter account that tweeted a call to violence and claimed to be representing the position of "Antifa" was in fact created by a known white supremacist group, Twitter said Monday. The company removed the account.
"This account violated our platform manipulation and spam policy, specifically the creation of fake accounts," a Twitter spokesperson said in a statement."We took action after the account sent a Tweet inciting violence and broke the Twitter Rules."Although the account only had a few hundred followers, it is an example of white supremacists seeking to inflame tensions in the United States by posing as left-wing activists online.
Absolutely nothing is 'proved' in this article. It's a CNN opinion piece and a show of their love of lies. Even the hit piece on the account says the groups 'potential for violence'. Meanwhile back in reality, I will continue to fight actual violence from antifa..a real hategroup
You FOX News follows are just plain NUTS.

Retweet this over and over and over! The country needs to understand that it’s not the radical left causing the riots, it’s the radical right. A page straight from Putin‘s playbook.
KrisKetzKMBC It was only a month old account with 20 followers. Pure showmanship by Twitter.
When will this racism end,man?🤬🤬😡
LJSLaw So many lies. Why are you trying to ruin our country?
As long as the 'white supremacy movement' in police departments are allowed to continue by elected officials, police will continue on their path to racial genocide.
Wow
Fakers
White racist are to coward to claim thier deeds so they blame and hide behind other groups and do not take responsibility. Sound familiar.
Neo Nazi white supremacist also posed as protesters during many of the earlier protests that stoked violence. And they have guns.
Well no duh, We already new the far right, racist white supremacists we’re doing this...bout time you caught up cnn...
If you watch CNN you will see they try so hard to make this look like it’s just a few agitators. All democrat cities being destroyed. Vote the dems out. Remember they are defending this.
All Trump cards at play... He loves violence... He thrives on hate ... Sadly he will win American voting system is a sham Electoral college shouldn't decide who wins.... The Majority vote should!!!
femeninna There is no Antifa until you show up at the protest and pull up your mask. Then you look for fascists. That's as far as the planning goes.
So an SPLC sockpuppet account was suspended... Good, keep going.
Yes because Twitter is now the final arbiter of truth. No one investigates better and faster than Twitter. Neither FBI nor CIA nor Mossad. No one.
Keep Trump noted
And trump blames Antifa He will NEVER admit the TRUTH! He is a liar through and through!
Remember you once said that the thugs in Hong Kong are the beautiful scenery of China? Now that the landscape has reached the United States, please invite the world to appreciate your freedom and democracy.
This is all set up to distract from covid. He’s going to come out looking strong, saving the day. Re election and dictatorship is his motive behind everything. What if gf died as part of the distraction. Check dc’s bank accounts.
Oh really? Who? Oh you don't know who? Twitter can't say who? Yea right.
Let me guess, it was the OCAntifa account. They were going to expose all Antifa members and activities but Twitter shut them down. I guess Twitter is making stuff up to justify it
realDonaldTrump

Well Donny, THIS is what YOU wanted ! ! Poor leadership on your part ? ! ? Or is THIS the way Putin told you to do it ? ! ?
Funny how Hollywood celebrities are offering to bailout protesters. That the media keeps calling white supremacist .
Because Twitter said so?
Duh bc Antifa is NOT a group. It’s being against this corrupt system.
Good work, Twitter. Now if we could only follow the trail back to those real 'bad hombres.'
How dare they removed Trump sponsored account.
Oh, WTF..... it’s all a big set-up. This is all straight out of China’s playbook, to get to a point that it’s ok to send in the troops on the civvies.
so, the thousands of ANTIFA scum rats that are actually on the ground... are just fake ANTIFA... got it
realDonaldTrump where is their terrorist organization designation?!? Or do only left wing groups count? You might have to lose a few votes. BlackLivesMatter BLM JusticeForGeorgeFloyd
