Democrats hype up leftist base, remain silent after violent antifa attack in Berkeley

(Worthy News) – California Democrats who whipped up opposition to the weekend’s free speech rallies had little to say after radical leftist protesters, led by the antifa movement, attacked police and Trump supporters on Sunday in Berkeley, injuring six.
