CBS Downplays Antifa Chaos at TPUSA Event, Calls Violent Protest ‘Mostly Peaceful’

By: Katie Daviscourt | The Post Millennial A mob of Antifa militants was captured on video setting off flares and smoke bombs, assaulting attendees, hurling objects at police, and issuing death threats. What CBS News Bay Area described as a "mostly peaceful" protest outside a Turning Point USA (TPUSA) event at UC Berkeley on Monday night was anything but, according to ample video footage and reporters on the ground.
