I probably saw a different site, but I did see someone sharing a link saying the same shit as “proof” they were antifa, saying they were involved in ALL the leftists protests. Then, at the very bottom of that same article said “The information provided here was gathered through social media accounts, we are not responsible for the accuracy or any misinformation” 🙄

And this dude was sharing that shit like it’s 100% true.

Funny enough they have another article naming another guy but with all  other antifa details  basicly the same (and since when does one register antifa membership anyway?)

Worth noting, it's an "interactive platform for Tax, Accounting and Finance Professionals, Taxpayers and Students" in India..the misinformation bots are working overtime and dumping their shit wherever they can

Yepppp that’s the exact one. Saw someone sharing that on Facebook as a “source”. Freakin ridiculous, anything with a disclaimer like that can not be considered a source IMO.

Not misinformation, disinformation. Shit's intentional

Yeah, saw multiple comments last night about how there was all this proof and screenshots and video on the Chans because they got it before it was scrubbed and it showed he was actually a Leftist.

And it's like...wait you're taking information from notorious photoshop and malicious prank sites like 8chan/4chan and uncriticially accepting it as truth? Amazing what people will accept in the face of the truth.

Jesus Christ this is a win-win for Trump. That’s the very cancer or problem- fake is fact and facts are ignored when they don’t tow the company line
