The Spin

Left narrative

It's an atrocity that a respected Rutgers professor studying leftist history faces violent threats and doxxing simply for his academic research. Conservative groups falsely branded him an antifa leader and demanded his firing, a direct result of President Trump turning the power of the state on "antifa."

Right narrative

While threats of violence are never justified, Mark Bray cannot escape responsibility for helping to legitimize political violence under the guise of “anti-fascism.” As America grapples with the shocking murder of Charlie Kirk, it’s time to hold accountable those who glorified confrontation and normalized the very chaos that set the stage for this tragedy.
