1. Based on Wikipedia, it appears that 23 people have died during the George Floyd protests (even though the entry says 22, probably on the classification of Boogaloo-killed deputy, technically not at protest)

Trump supporters scrambled Saturday over an antifa “elevated threat” to tear down the Alamo. Ted Cruz urged protesters to “come and take it.” But the only proof that antifa wanted to blow up the Alamo comes from an InfoWars lawyer and a QAnon believer. https://t.co/EEDHDMAi85

Trump doing PR for antifa in his speeches and tweets is really drawing attention from 115,000 deaths and promoting the agenda of white nationalist groups like Identity Evropa.
Black Lives mothers…. Trump as well as Matt Gaetz are somehow coordinating to disinform citing a group, antifa, that is not a group that can be designated a terror organization. What’s worse is that a group behind the unite the right event in Charlottesville has spoofed a threat using Twitter.
A Twitter account claiming to belong to a national “antifa” organization and pushing violent rhetoric related to ongoing protests has been linked to the white nationalist group Identity Evropa, according to a Twitter spokesperson.

As protests were taking place in multiple states across the U.S. Sunday night, the newly created account, @ANTIFA_US, tweeted, “Tonight’s the night, Comrades,” with a brown raised fist emoji and “Tonight we say 'F— The City' and we move into the residential areas… the white hoods…. and we take what's ours …”
This isn’t the first time Twitter has taken action against fake accounts engaged in hateful conduct linked to Identity Evropa, according to the spokesperson.
Matt Gaetz, scion of Identity Evropa? Hello FBI?
The antifa movement — a network of loosely organized radical groups who use direct action to fight the far-right and fascism — has been targeted by President Donald Trump as the force behind some of the violence and property destruction seen at some protests, thoughlittle evidencehas been provided for such claims.

Josh Russell, an independent bot researcher who identifies foreign and domestic hacking and trolling operations, said events like the weekend's protests are ripe for this kind of platform manipulation.
“Any large 'online' event is going to have these types of things happen. Every bad actor that sees the opportunity to create some panic is going to leverage the situation to do so. It's nothing new,” Russell said.
Off Twitter, viral text messages of screenshots of doctored tweets have circulated throughout the country. Some of the false text messages claim that extremist groups are plotting to move into residential areas this week.
