Bernie Sanders supporter protesting right-wing rally with American flag beaten up by Antifa, video shows

A registered Democrat and Bernie Sanders supporter protesting a right-wing rally in Oregon earlier this month says he was viciously beaten by militant members of his own movement because he possessed a "fascist symbol" -- an American flag.
Paul Welch told The Oregonian/Oregon Live he took the flag with him when he went to Portland Aug. 4 to oppose a right-wing rally being held at the Tom McCall Waterfront Park. Though the American flag is more commonly associated with the conservative movement, Welch, an Oregon man who voted for Sanders during the 2016 Democratic presidential primary, said he wanted to "take it back."
“The right, and certainly a lot of smaller groups like Patriot Prayer, might rush to things like the flag and try to take it up as, ‘This is our symbol exclusively,’” Welch told The Oregonian/Oregon Live. “Part of my thinking was to take it back.”
Antifa thinks Bernie Sanders is a right winger. They do not care who they target.

I'd say more disturbing is that they viewed the US Flag as a "Fascist symbol."
They truly view EVERYTHING not completely in lock- step with their own views as a "Nazi," "Fascist," or "White supremacist" symbol.

Antifa isn't Anti-fascist. That is a cover from them being anti-American and anti-capitalism.
