An 'ANTIFA' Twitter account that called for looting 'white hoods' was actually run by white nationalist group Identity Evropa
A fake antifa Twitter account that called for violence was actually run by a white nationalist group, according to a Twitter spokesperson.
The account, "@ANTIFA_US," pretended to align with the Black Lives Matter movement and ongoing nationwide protests, and called for protesters to "move into residential areas... the white hoods.... and we take what's ours."
Twitter banned the account Monday for breaking its rules against platform manipulation, spam, and inciting violence.
