Antifa activists brought chaos as they descended Friday on the annual Western Conservative Summit in Denver, drawn by favorite targets such as Oregon journalist Andy Ngo and Rep. Lauren Boebert, Colorado Republican.
Videos posted by Mr. Ngo and the Blaze’s Elijah Schaffer showed multiple altercations, including a brawl between a man who confronted dozens of protesters outside the Hyatt Regency Denver, site of the two-day conference hosted by the Centennial Institute.
Protesters, some with bullhorns, harassed people entering and exiting the hotel. Activists blocked traffic, prompting one driver to jump out of her car and accuse them of throwing a water bottle at her vehicle. Others chanted “Boebert’s bitch boys” at a line of police outside the venue.
“Antifa view events like this and even just this speech as extremely threatening to them, which is why they’ve organized the so-called protests outside,” said Mr. Ngo in his Saturday appearance.
Denver police said Saturday there were no arrests made at the protest, which was advertised on Facebook as the “Western BLM-Antifa Summit,” or “two days of fiercely jubilant opposition to the Western Conservative Summit!”
Organizers included the “Denver Communists, Front Range Mutual Aid Network, WITCH Denver, Front Range Community Defense Collective, Anon Resistance Movements, Anti-Repression Colorado, Denver Action Network.”
Centennial Institute director Jeff Hunt said the Antifa presence shows that the conference is having an impact.
“The fact Antifa has chosen to protest our event proves to me three things: 1.) the Western Conservative Summit is doing things right; 2.) they’re afraid of the impact of the conservative message; and, 3.) they’re just rabble-rousing idiots,” said Mr. Hunt in an email.
“Many thanks to the Denver PD officers who’ve kept our speakers and attendees safe,” he said.
