Armed militias traveled to the historic battlefield in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, in response to rumors that antifa planned a rally there to burn American flags.
But the hundreds of counterprotesters who showed up appear to have been duped by a social media hoax.
A regional group called Central PA Antifa said they were not "remotely involved" with the apparent flag burning event and called it a “right wing hoax,” according to
Snopes.
There was no large gathering of people who showed up to burn the flag. Christopher Blakeman, 45, of West Virginia, was one of a group of dozens of bikers who traveled from Maryland.
“It doesn’t matter if it’s a hoax or not,” he said, according to the
Washington Post. “They made a threat, and if we don’t make our voices heard, it’ll make it seem like it’s okay.”.....snip~
