Seamus Bruner of the Government Accountability Institute shed light on how funding flows to Antifa and other radical left-wing groups that engage in protests and riots around the US.
It has been revealed that $100 million in US taxpayer funding has flowed into various funding networks that help support leftist and radical groups such as Antifa and others in what the Government Accountability Institute has called "Riot Inc."
Appearing at the White House on Wednesday alongside The Post Millennial's Katie Daviscourt, Andy Ngo and other journalists, the Research Director for the Government Accountability Institute Seamus Bruner shed light on how funding flows to Antifa and other radical left-wing groups that engage in protests and riots around the US.
"We followed the money, and we followed it to the top of what we call the protest industrial complex," Bruner said. He went on to describe what he called "Riot Inc," or a network of organizations that fund, market, and legally support groups such as Antifa cells in the United States.
"We found a network of NGOs. It's not just the Soros network—the Open Society network—it's other funding networks, the Arabella funding network, the Tides funding network, Neville Roy Singham and his network, foreign cash, and it's also big left-wing funders. Some of them are not citizens of this country, Mr. Hansjörg Wyss of Switzerland. They're pouring money into this entire ecosystem."
"It doesn't just have the Antifa boots on the ground division. It has PR divisions. It has marketing divisions. It has a very well-funded legal division to get these boots on the ground, back on the streets as quickly as possible," he added.
Bruner went on to say that one of the most shocking facts that he found was that "more than $100 million in US taxpayer funding has flowed into these funding networks, including at least $4 million to these very groups themselves. Not just Antifa types, but there was an event in Atlanta called Stop cop city. Over 60 rioters were charged with domestic terrorism. These groups received money for that from both the billionaire class as well as taxpayer money."
He explained that the networks use crowdfunding platforms in order to transfer funds where they need to go and that is how Antifa cells, the John Brown Gun Club, and other groups get funding.
As Bruner and other journalists went to the White House on Wednesday, the Trump administration posted a video to X with Attorney General Pam Bondi, saying that the White House will get to the bottom of and put a stop to political violence and action done by Antifa.
