A group of self-described anti-fascists are sharing the blame for fueling the recent violence in Charlottesville.
Critics are blasting the left-leaning group — better known as Antifa — for its role in promoting violence, and slamming the mainstream media for ignoring it.
Antifa uses militant tactics against others who they deem as “fascists” in order to advance it’s agenda.
They claim to be battling far-right authoritarianism, but many argue they’re escalating violence instead.
On Saturday, President Trump said the violence could be attributed to many sides.
Critics hope they will be held accountable for their role in the weekend violence.
