Things get bloody when Antifa thugs attack pro-Trump rally in Portland

A mob of Antifa thugs were caught on video running across a downtown Portland, Oregon, park Sunday afternoon. Their target? Patriot Prayer "Freedom March" demonstrators, KATU-TV reported — and then things got bloody.

One Antifa agitator was seen leading the charge through the Patriot Prayer marchers — who typically back Republican President Donald Trump — and issuing a flying kick to the pro-Trumper.

Things heated way up and other skirmishes were witnessed, but KATU reported little to no police presence to stave off the fighting.

The Anitfa contingent shouted “No Trump, no KKK, no fascist USA” and burned an American flag, KOIN-TV reported.

Pepper spray was deployed — as well as skateboards, journalist Mike Bivins said — for weapons:

Tusitala Toese, 21, told the Oregonian that the Antifas were to blame for the fighting: "We didn't throw the first punch."

But Nathanael Gonzales — a Mexican-American and an Antifa protester — told the paper he felt threatened and demeaned during the protests. Jose Sanchez was marching with a Mexican flag and said several members of the Patriot Prayer group told him to "go back to Mexico," the Oregonian reported.

There were three arrests, KOIN said.
