A spokesman said that during a recent Fox News interview Mark Morgan was referring generally to the fact that many protesters travel from out of state.
WASHINGTON — In an interview with Fox News on Wednesday, Customs and Border Protection chief Mark Morgan said that"groups like Antifa" are sending organized protestors by plane to cities around the country to incite violence.
More than once, President Donald Trump has claimed that individuals wearing dark uniforms have been coordinating their efforts to fly into cities to incite violence at protests. On Wednesday, Fox News host John Roberts asked Morgan about Trump's claim, and Morgan responded with his statement about “groups like Antifa.”
The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reported Monday that Kenosha police said that 175 people had been arrested during protests over the shooting. Of those arrested, 73 were from Kenosha.
