At an Antifa March in New York City on Saturday, Antifa members were seen attacking a female journalist for “supporting Trump,” the Epoch Times reports. Tara Szczepanski is a social media journalist for the Polish American Brotherhood and attended the march as a person of the press when Antifa attacked her.
The report says that “the march was organized by Outlive Them NYC and United Against Racism and Fascism (UARF) NYC, which called for a ‘mass mobilization of Antifa supporters in Midtown Manhattan in response to a “Stop the Steal” rally that was set to take place at Columbus Circle on Sunday.”
Even though the “Stop the Steal” rally never materialized, Antifa “marched from 59th Street to Madison Square Park.” Antifa members were dressed in their typical all-black uniforms with some carrying “makeshift shields, while others held signs, including ones calling for defunding the police and ‘against racism and fascism.”
Footage caught across of when I was trying to get away, and I’m screaming to get off me, they hitting me with the umbrella and then knock my equipment, when I picked it up they smashed the egg and hit me in the head, then knocked my phone off. #BLM #Antifa #TrumpSupporter #NYC pic.twitter.com/JOh3t2QGeM

Journalist, Tara Szczepanski, claims that she was attacked by Antifa while documenting the march through New York City. She said that the video footage shows her screaming for the attackers to get off of her. Szczepanski claims Antifa hit her “with an umbrella” and knocked her equipment to the ground when they smashed an egg on her head.

Multiple videos captured the attack, as well as Szczepanski pleading with the NYPD to help her. The police ignored her calls for help and did not arrest a single Antifa member connected to the attack. Antifa members were seen screaming at Tara Szczepanski, charging her with the 2021 crime of being a Donald Trump supporter.
Running to the cops for help. They tell me she’s a Nazi part of the Polish American Brotherhood. 😳 https://t.co/tpQhZJc3qT pic.twitter.com/qdw0lse1dg

In the video, Szczepanski explains that she walked over to the NYPD line for the attack to be over. However, you can hear one member of the march claim that Szczepanski is “an actual Nazi.” He asks the NYPD why they were protecting her and falsely claims to the NYPD officers that she is apart of a Nazi group.
Antifa members walking by the police line call her a b**** and a Nazi b****. The police stand there as Antifa members tell Szczepanski that they like her hair better after attacking her. This is an active terrorist group attacking a journalist in broad daylight while the police sit back and watch.
Do you think there will be unity in America?
We march for the police. We sent money to police charities, and we have always supported their work. It is hard to watch them as they sit back and do nothing when lawlessness happens.
“Our mother f—kin streets!”

Journalist, Andy Ngô, reported that Antifa members were marching through the streets chanting: “Whose streets? Our streets!” and “Our mother-f***ing streets!” Marchers were seen impersonating police officers wearing the NYPD uniform with pig masks, while others held signs calling for lawmakers to “defund the police.”
Epoch Times reports that “the organizers billed the event as ‘a show of solidarity, joyful defiance, and community self-defense,” but that didn’t stop the terrorists apart of Antifa from attacking Tara Szczepanski or anyone that dared to be a conservative.
