If you recall,<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Investigators say that a group of men and women maced, punched, kicked, and robbed the reservists near Front and Chestnut streets on Saturday, November 17th, around 3:20 p.m., just down the street from the controversial \u201cWe the People\u201d rally. The group allegedly called the reservists \u201cNazis\u201d and \u201cwhite supremacists.\u201d <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Among the Antifa mob was one Joseph Alcoff, and he is charged with aggravated assault and ethnic intimidation in the attack. So?<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>But while Democratic officials are distancing themselves from Alcoff now, until recently he was a well-connected, aspiring political player in Washington who may have even had a hand in key policy proposals.<\/p>\n<p>His endorsement apparently mattered when several congressional Democrats in February 2018 issued press releases with his quote backing their bill on regulating payday lenders.<\/p>\n<p>As the payday campaign manager for the liberal group Americans for Financial Reform, Alcoff participated in congressional Democratic press conferences, was a guest on a House Democratic podcast and met with senior officials at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau from 2016 through 2018.<\/p>\n<p>He was also pictured with now-House Financial Services Committee Chairwoman <strong>Maxine Waters<\/strong>, D-Calif., and ranking Democrat on the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee Sen. <strong>Sherrod Brown<\/strong> of Ohio. Both committees oversee financial regulatory policies Alcoff was advocating. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>It gets deeper.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Alcoff was reportedly also an organizer for Smash Racism DC, the group responsible for gathering and shouting threats outside the home of Fox News host Tucker Carlson in November and for heckling Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, and his wife Heidi at a Washington restaurant in September.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The rest of the article may be viewed here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/antifa-activist-facing-assault-charges-was-tied-to-democratic-policymakers\">Fox News<\/a><\/p>\n<p>What a swell guy. It&#8217;s an understatement to say the Dems now want exactly nothing to do with Mr. Alcoff, and are backpedaling as fast as they can. Congressional Reps either failed to return inquires on the matter, or distanced their Congress member from him.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks again, AP.
