Debunked: Berkeley Skateboard Guy Was Not Antifa
At the second Battle of Berkeley, a young man with a black sun skateboard-shield was photographed giving a Roman salute. This clearly upset many Trump supporters, who are loathe to be associated with the greatest sin of our era: racism.
This culminated in a recent conspiracy theory alleging that this young man was not a Trump supporter, but an antifa infiltrator.
Kyle Chapman, otherwise known as Based Stick Man, helped promulgate this theory:
We knew this was the case and can now start pointing to some evidence. We will win the Psy-Op war with #Antifa along with any other https://t.co/zsKuIL7SQT

It also gained traction on /r/The_Donald.
However, video evidence – compiled by yours truly – proves that this individual was, in fact, a Trump supporter, and not an antifa infiltrator:

Make sure to spread this around. The last thing that we want is for an innocent Trump supporter to be doxed – or worse – because he was mistaken for being a degenerate anti-fascist.
