House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., says the “violent” members of Antifa — those members of the anti-fascist group who allegedly attacked conservative demonstrators over the weekend in Berkeley, Calif. — should be arrested and prosecuted.
“Our democracy has no room for inciting violence or endangering the public, no matter the ideology of those who commit such acts,” Pelosi said in a statement Wednesday, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. “The violent actions of people calling themselves Antifa in Berkeley this weekend deserve unequivocal condemnation.”
