So many Americans are uninformed and gullible these days. Too many specifically seek out claims that conform to their own biases and never bother to check the facts or credibility. Then, they send or post the baseless bullshit.....which more people read, swallow, and regurgitate.
I saw the Antifa bullshit (along with a lot of other baseless politically-motivated claims) in the reader comments sections of news articles as soon as Kelley was identified. I never saw or heard it claimed within any credible or sourced media content though.
