  • An image shared on Facebook allegedly shows antifa activists holding a banner that reads Antifa Against Bikers. Verdict: False The image has been digitally altered. The original banner actually has the words Free All Antifa Prisoners on it. Fact Check: False rumors have recently circulated online that members of the Hells Angels and Mongols motorcycle clubs were traveling together to Seattle to confront antifa, short for anti-fascist, activists. The image being shared appears to reference that debunked claim, showing a crowd of people in front of what appears to be a stage. Some people in the front of the photo hold a banner, purportedly bearing the words Antifa Against Bikers. This is a fight they don’t want to start, the accompanying post reads. One they won’t win.

A reverse image search traced the photo back to July 2015 , when a group of anti-fascists came together to celebrate the international day of solidarity with antifascist prisoners, according to its caption. The original image, posted on the website of a New York-based anarchist political center, shows the words Free All Antifa Prisoners on the banner. In late May, President Donald Trump tweeted that the U.S. government will designate antifa as a terrorist organization. Legal experts have questioned the president’s ability to do so, BBC News reported. (en)
