Back on June 20 the United Nations on their Twitter account put out a Tweet defending and tacitly supporting the violent communist group ANTIFA.
Within the next 24 hours the intense backlash the UN received led to the Tweet being deleted by the international organization without explanation, or apology.

The Tweet read, “UN #HumanRights expert expresses profound concern over a recent statement by the US-Attorney General describing #ANTIFA and other anti-fascist activists as domestic terrorists, saying it undermines the right to freedom of expression and of peaceful assembly within the country.”
What obviously struck so many as grossly out of touch about the UN’s Tweet was what seemed like an attempt to normalize the actions of ANTIFA and trying to put them under the umbrella of “freedom of expression” when their “peaceful assembly” tends to involve extreme violence, rioting, and harassment.
ANTIFA is well known for also singling out Conservatives and free speech advocates for violent attacks.
