An Antifa ringleader was arrested.
Jason Charter, the Antifa-linked activist who was booked Thursday as the alleged “ringleader” in the June 22 attempt to destroy the Andrew Jackson statue in Lafayette Square near the White House, was also allegedly involved in the destruction of the Albert Pike Historical Statue in Washington on June 20 — and even lit a cigarette in the flames engulfing that monument.
Charter, the bureau states, was spotted on a camera “entering the grounds of Lafayette Park on June 22, 2020, at approximately 6:16:52 PM,” wearing not only a white face mask and ski goggles, but also an “armband on his right arm, holding a walking cane, and a “Swiss Gear logo backpack with a bicycle helmet dangling from the side.”
Charter was then allegedly “boosted up onto the statue by an unknown subject and then appears to request ropes from people on the ground level.”
He was carrying the “same Swiss Gear logo backpack, bicycle helmet, walking cane, and armband,” the FBI went on, as he was seen taking part in the attack on the Pike statue days later.
On June 20, Charter “is seen … standing over the toppled Pike Statue, pouring an unknown liquid onto the statue,” the FBI states. “He is then observed waving others away from the statue, and squatting down behind the statue where his hands are not visible. Seconds later, the statue catches fire. Charter is seen standing over the flames as it burns.”
He also violently assaulted people.
The damage his did exceeded a quarter-million dollars.
He decided to give a press conference where he all but admitted what he did.
“On July 2nd, I was placed under arrest and my home was torn apart by federal agents to be unrecognizable.”

He’s a proud anti-fascist and so are you if you hate Nazis.
But if you are against setting statues on fire than you are a Nazi and he’s going to beat your head in with a cane.
The Democrats say Antifa is a myth but here is one dedicated to the cause.
Since the narrative has been set the media will ignore this, but we have admitted Antifa making press conferences.
