Reactions from the American People
Similarly to most occurrences in the political world, the views on AntiFa’s conduct were quite divided.
Left wing progressives were considerably less critical of AntiFa. Many of them alleged that AntiFa was merely protesting what they perceive as injustices. They also cited the First Amendment, stating that members of AntiFa are well within their rights to protest.
Conversely, right wing conservatives viewed the matter quite differently. They were especially critical of AntiFa blocking traffic while also claiming to advocate for freedom.
