Leftist Mob Screams at, Throws Drink on TPUSA's Charlie Kirk and Candace Owens | Eastern NC Now

    Publisher's note: This informational nugget was sent to me by Ben Shapiro, who represents the Daily Wire, and since this is one of the most topical news events, it should be published on BCN.

    On Monday, Turning Point USA head Charlie Kirk and communications director Candace Owens were sitting at a restaurant in Philadelphia when members of a Leftist activist group spotted them through the window. Within minutes, Kirk told Daily Wire, 20-30 of these rabble-rousers mobilized, and proceeded to harass Kirk and Owens inside the restaurant before attacking them outside. Police were required to separate the mob from Kirk and Owens.

To be clear: ANTIFA, an all-white fascist organization, just grew violent and attacked an all-black and Hispanic police force. Because I, a BLACK woman, was eating breakfast. Is this the civil rights era all over again? pic.twitter.com/piJfnopniW

    The protesters were apparently yelling about "white supremacy"; at least one protester threw a drink on Kirk.

    Last week, CNN's Jim Acosta fretted over members of a Trump audience chanting "CNN sucks" and yelling at him. That drew national news. Undoubtedly the same media interested in civility will cover Kirk and Owens the same way.

    Or not.
