"What Trump and his administration are doing could pose an existential threat to humanity," Andy Zee, a member of the advisory board for Refuse Fascism told Newsweek in a phone interview about the ad. "We're in one of the most perilous moments in history right now." (See Andy Zee Video Below)Refuse Fascism held back on its AntiFa, ISIS, Revolutionary Communist party players. screaming Snowflakes and masked anarchists on the first day of their advertised massive demonstrations if only to make it appear as the Fake News of outlets who had warned the masses of their intentions as stated in the NYT full page ad.

(News Week, Nov. 4, 2017)Not to be outdone came Britain's Daily Mail, bringing up the rear by pointing the finger of blame at Fox News:
"Doomsday scenarios of mass violence and chaos, which were promoted by right-wing media outlets like Fox News, did not come to pass, according to authorities. "In Los Angeles, Chicago, and New York, hundreds of protesters took to the streets to denounce President Donald Trump and his administration."
"Jack, a 25-year-old spokesperson for Refuse Fascism, who asked not to use his last name, told Newsweek that he wasn't concerned by the attendance of the event, and that it was just the beginning of removing Trump from office. "We always want more people," Jack said. "This is just the first day."Though you will get no warning from the MSM, count on the masked anarchists in a revved-up protest coming soon to a town near you.
