Alt-right leader Mike Cernovich punched in the face at Tax March rally

The livestream on Periscope then abruptly ends when Cernovich's phone falls after seemingly taking a hit.

I just hope the puncher is either identified as another altie who got paid to do it or is never identified. Keep this horrible excuse for a human being away from us.

Second, I was there. He got up on the stage and grabbed the mic and yelled "Bill Clinton is a rapist" before he was immediately cut off and shuffled off the stage. Protesters did walk up to surround him with signs while the crowd booed him. Texas State Troopers on the scene escorted him away from the stage area.
There was no fight, no faces punched, no arrests. Some folks may have used obscenities, but so what? He might have dropped his phone or otherwise panicked.
Mike Cernovich is full of shit, full stop.

Likewise for this white supremacist who sucker-punched a woman in Berkeley.
The Fascists are inciting violence to enact anti-protest laws. In all likelihood, the person throwing the punch in Austin was also a white nationalist working on the agenda.
