The last time we checked in with Lauren Southern, the Canadian political activist and alleged member of the alt-right was headlining a Patriots Day rally in Berkeley, Calif., that was supposed to celebrate free speech but instead featured pepper spray, some flash-bangs, fireworks, and possibly brass knuckles.
That was April. Now, in June, protesters in several cities across the country held anti-Sharia demonstrations, which opponents (and some supporters, judging by their signs) took to mean anti-Muslim. Protests were admittedly small, but the antifa (anti-fascists) were on hand to do whatever it took to drown out the protesters in the name of … anti-fascism, apparently.
Southern was in attendance at the New York rally, where she was sprayed with something awful.
