John Dennis, the chairman of the San Francisco Republican Party, shared video of his encounter with a man protesting a cleanup event.
He said the man in the video stood out from the other Antifa members, who wore dark clothing, because he wore a yellow shirt with the word"resistance" on it and was being"belligerent." Dennis said the man flipped over a canopy and made threats to individuals in the crowd.
Dennis added it was that man who appeared to be"giving backbone" to the"rest of the lightweight Antifa" and so he approached him to talk. He also added that what is not seen in the video is how he"got angry" and approached the man in the yellow shirt again. Dennis admitted to using"rough language" to tell him that he wasn't going to be intimidated. Dennis said the man left after that and the crowd"lost a lot of its fight."
Presler, the pro-Trump activist who organized Saturday's cleanup event, tweeted,"We got protested for picking up trash. I never thought I'd see the day, as an adult, that I was protested for picking up trash." He previously made headlines as the organizer of anti-Muslim marches across the U.S. in 2017 when he worked for the anti-Muslim hate group ACT for America. Since then, he has organized cleanup events in other cities, including in Baltimore and in homeless camps in Los Angeles.published a scathing editorial suggesting Presler's motives were political.Republican John Dennis shared a video of a protester threatening him at a cleanup event in San Francisco.
