As if the details behind the Milo UC Berkeley riots could’t get any more twisted or unbelievable, it is now being reported that the mayor of the town of Berkeley himself is a member of AntiFa, and was one of the people behind the Facebook page that organized the riots at the UC Berkeley college campus the night of the Milo Yiannopoulos speaking event.

According to Breitbart:

Berkley Mayor Jesse Arreguin was revealed to be a member of the anti-fascist group, By Any Means Necessary (BAMN), on Facebook. BAMN orchestrated the violence that shut down a scheduled lecture at UC Berkeley featuring Milo Yiannopoulos in early 2017. Arreguin is allegedly also friends with BAMN leader, Yvette Felarca, on Facebook.

They were also involved in the violent clashes earlier this month.

…

Often described as a “militant left-wing” activist group, BAMN frequently engages in violent forms of protests. A Berkeley newspaper noted in 2001 that the group was a front for an “an obscure Detroit-based Trotskyist political party called the Revolutionary Workers League.”

Should the political representatives of all Berkeley residents be picking sides when violence erupts? What if such figures could possibly be among the organizers behind said violence? What do you think, readers?
