    A Twitter account claiming to belong to a national “antifa” organization and pushing violent rhetoric related to ongoing protests has been linked to the white nationalist group Identity Evropa, according to a Twitter spokesperson.

    The spokesperson said the account violated the company's platform manipulation and spam policy, specifically the creation of fake accounts. Twitter suspended the account after a tweet that incited violence.

    As protests were taking place in multiple states across the U.S. Sunday night, the newly created account, @ANTIFA_US, tweeted, “Tonight’s the night, Comrades,” with a brown raised fist emoji and “Tonight we say 'F--- The City' and we move into the residential areas... the white hoods.... and we take what's ours …”

    This isn’t the first time Twitter has taken action against fake accounts engaged in hateful conduct linked to Identity Evropa, according to the spokesperson.

    The antifa movement — a network of loosely organized radical groups who use direct action to fight the far-right and fascism — has been targeted by President Donald Trump as the force behind some of the violence and property destruction seen at some protests, though little evidence has been provided for such claims.

    Other misinformation and misleading claims spread across Twitter on Sunday night and into Monday related to the protests.

    Two hashtags that trended worldwide on Twitter falsely claimed that there was a "cover-up" or a "blackout" of protests in Washington, D.C., overnight. Both appeared to insinuate that protesters have been silenced in some way, perhaps by a secret internet blackout.

    Twitter says it has removed the trend from its "trending topics" section because of "coordinated attempts to disrupt the public conversation" around the protests.

    Twitter said it suspended several hundred accounts and is investigating the viral spread of the hashtag, which it said was boosted by "hundreds of spammy accounts."

    Be careful. It could be a certain Communist country trying to provoke violence among Americans. Creating more tension.

    From what I heard, the Communist gave 2 billion to Joe Biden's son to manage.
    Someone gives you that much of money, you better be listening to them.

    When the Democrat Party is full of Socialist, Communist, Islamist members of Congress no less, we know who the violent people are. Adolf Hitler was also, a rabid Socialist. NAZI means Nationalist Socialist Workers Party. Add to that the KKK ties of the Democrat Party. Senator Robert Byrd was a KKK klansman elected into Congress by the Democrats. He is also, the idol of Hillary Clinton. Hillary Clinton called blacks Super Predators but, crickets and no comment from the Congressional Black Caucus. Now, that is white privilege. You ET troll numb nuts had enough yet?

    Seems you got bamboozled by another Trump lie

    The phone message, which repeatedly refers to President Donald Trump’s rival as “Beijing Biden,” says: “Beijing Biden’s son Hunter penned a $1.5 billion deal with a Chinese investment fund to make $80,000 per month from China in the months leading up to the coronavirus outbreak.”

    That’s wrong in some respects and misleading in others. As we and others have written, Hunter Biden was involved in the formation of a private equity fund with Chinese firms. But that deal, as the Wall Street Journal reported at the time, occurred in 2014 – long before the current pandemic. The call also leaves the misleading impression that Hunter Biden may have earned $1.5 billion as part of that deal, but the dollar amount is a reference to the new fund’s $1.5 billion investment goal for 2014.

    There is no support for the call’s claim that Hunter Biden made “$80,000 per month from China in the months leading up to the coronavirus outbreak.”
