Desperate Tudor Dixon summons the Antifa bogeyman

[marmar]

OP's comment: "Antifa Revenge"? My staged bullshit detector is going off the charts


(Detroit Metro Times) According to Republican candidate for governor Tudor Dixon, the property of a retired Lansing couple who supports former President Donald Trump was vandalized by “Antifa,” which allegedly scrawled messages like “TRUMP NAZI SCUM,” “GOP TERRORIST,” and “ANTIFA REVENGE” on their vehicles and driveway in red and white spray paint.

“A retired couple in Lansing had their cars and property vandalized by the tolerant people of ANTIFA because the couple supports President Trump,” Dixon wrote on Twitter. “Another example of the radical left’s ‘fight like hell’ tactics, courtesy of Gretchen Whitmer.”

Dixon provided no source for her claims. According to a story from WLNS-TV published after Dixon’s posts, Lansing police are investigating the incident, which allegedly occurred between Wednesday night and Thursday morning on the 2800 block of Lasalle Gardens on Lansing’s east side.

Anyone with information is invited to contact Lansing police at 517-483-4600.

“Antifa” refers to “Anti-fascists,” a loose, decentralized political movement often cited as a bogeyman by the right. It is not clear what Whitmer has to do with this vandalism, assuming it’s real, other than saying that Democrats need to “fight like hell.” ............(more)

1. Interesting to see that Antifa people are tolerant.

Used to be that was a good quality in people, but not in "Tudorville".

She's gone over the bend, as they say.

2. She didn't mention the drag queens in classrooms?

That was her funniest add.

3. "ANTIFA REVENGE"?!? I wouldn't be surprised if a MAGAt did it in order to enforce their

sense of victimhood and faux outrage. But then, I could be wrong because all of the words were spelled correctly.

7. My thoughts, as well.

How many ANTIFA have been seen since Jan6th? To hear the RW blurbs, you'd think they were all over the place. Boo! Boo! Never happened. I rarely have heard of them until recently with this 2022 election.

I guess those dangerous ANTIFA members are now the equivalent of abortion, guns and pedophiles?

20. and if Antifa is known for anything, it's spray paint.

need I add,

4. Uhhhhh

Does it really make sense that 'they' would write "Antifa targeting all Trump Nazi scum"?

Seems much more like the Trumpers did this. The messages are just idiotic. Do the 'victims' have backwards B's carved into their cheeks?

[blm]

5. I'd bet my house this wasn't 'antifa' or any Dem.

These spray paint graffiti attacks all over the country are pretty uniform, and always manage to feed into GOP campaign messaging. Antifa wouldn’t tag as Antifa.

12. If I was a betting person, I would bet the couple themselves

were the 'artistes' of that magnificent work.

[ProfessorGAC]

13. That's My Bet, As Well!

It's happened before.

[yardwork]

17. That's my thought.

6. No antifascist group would selfname "antifa" in graffiti.

Perhaps a 13 year old. Otherwise and more likely it was a follower of magism.

19. My take immediately

It's LANSING, and why a retired couple?

Possible suspects:
1. Larking teens.
2. Retired couples from Lansing.

10. Anyone remember Ashley Todd the "B" girl in Pittsburgh in 2008?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ashley_Todd_mugging_hoax
Todd had worked as a field representative for the College Republican National Committee since August 2008 and had come to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania in mid-October to recruit college students.[3] On October 22, 2008, Todd claimed that she was robbed at knifepoint by a "six-foot-four African American of medium build, dressed in dark clothes wearing shiny shoes" at a Citizens Bank ATM in the Bloomfield neighborhood of Pittsburgh. She also alleged that after the robber saw a McCain bumper sticker on Todd's car, he assaulted her, cut a reversed letter B into her cheek,[4] and told her "you are going to be a Barack supporter."[5]

11. Has anyone ever seen Antifa and the Proud Boys in the same room at the same time ?

Just askin'.

14. Two doors, four doors doesn't matter

Whitmer is gonna blow em off!!

15. Why would ANTIFA do this if their chosen candidate is so far ahead?

HMMMMMMM!
