An independent journalist says she was "attacked by ‘antifascist’ protesters" in Portland, where they damaged her property and shot paintballs at her, during weekend unrest, according to reports and details shared on social media.
"To threaten & assault members of the Press is not anti-fascist behavior … To do so under the guise of social justice is a disgrace," Staab wrote on Monday. "To do so anonymously & from behind is pure cowardice."
