Twitter users scorched Newsweek after it fact-checked Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, for condemning “Antifa riots.”
An episode of The View posted Monday featured Cruz debating The View’s hosts on the existence of left-wing political violence. After Cruz called out the “Antifa riots” from 2020, host Whoopi Goldberg replied “I don’t know what an Antifa riot is.”
While the piece acknowledged that over a thousand businesses were damaged in Minneapolis and there were “reports of fires after Floyd protests” in places such as Washington D.C., St. Louis, Seattle, and more, it took issue with the senator’s wording.
