Rep. Mace Cosponsors Legislation to Investigate Antifa Involvement in 2020 Riots
June 24, 2021
Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Nancy Mace (SC-01) along with Reps. Don Bacon (NE-02), Rodney Davis (IL-13), Tony Gonzales (TX-23), David Joyce (OH-14), Maria Elvira Salazar (FL-27), and Rep. Van Taylor (TX-03) today introduced legislation to investigate the involvement of Antifa in the nation-wide riots of 2020.
“Last year, organized cells of criminals hijacked overwhelmingly peaceful protests and used the legitimate grievances of others as cover to commit horrific acts of violence. They caused billions of dollars in property damage and attacked law enforcement officers and innocent bystanders in cities across the country. These riots often caused the most harm to the marginalized communities the criminals claimed to represent," Mace said. “Antifa bands represent the same threat to our nation posed by other terrorist groups. We must do all we can to understand and neutralize this dangerous movement before more are harmed.”
