As time went on, several within the Charlie Kirk vigil began to falsely accuse Sanchez’ group of being “Antifa.” Pointing to their masks, several began shouting at masked members of Patriot Front and Active Clubs to “show their face.” Several times, as the rhetoric from the white nationalist groups became even more explicit than usual, vigilgoers attempted to pray loudly and unsuccessfully to drown them out.

One man, carrying an American flag, taunted the group with several others.

The group then fled into the parking garage.
