Jun 05, 2020 1 min, 3 secs

Mythical buses full of bloodthirsty antifa protestors are causing panic in rural counties throughout the country — even though there’s no evidence they exist.

NBC News first reported on the recent surge of antifa-related misinformation, some of which was promoted by white nationalist groups posing as antifa accounts.

In Forks, Washington, a multi-racial family of four was harassed by armed locals, who believed they represented an antifa incursion.

One local posted a picture of his bus on Facebook as evidence of the antifa incursion, claiming “this bus was full of them.”.

In Curry County, Oregon, Sheriff John Ward told his department’s Facebook followers, “I got information that three buss [sic] loads of Antifa protestors are making their way” into the county — although he added, “I don’t know if the rumors are true or not.”.

Sparta’s sheriff addressed the rumors on Friday, saying “we have no evidence leading us to believe this threat is at all credible.” Facebook did not immediately respond to a request for comment

But in a statement last week, Barr warned of traveling antifa cells similar to those described by Natural News

It’s a more restrained version of the rhetoric used by President Trump, who has used antifa as a political foil since early in his campaign
