The same socialist network that once bragged about sparking the 2020 riots showed up outside President Trump's convention in Dallas this week.
Two of their marchers ended up in handcuffs after allegedly assaulting a counter protester just blocks from the arena.
What their own spokesman blamed for the chaos will make you laugh out loud.
Freedom Road Socialist Organization Already Admitted to Sparking the Riots
Rick Majumdar stood outside the American Airlines Center Thursday wearing a shirt for the Freedom Road Socialist Organization.
Dallas police say two protesters from that march were arrested for assaulting a counter protester and blocking a road.
Majumdar's answer was not an apology.
His answer was that "rioting provocateurs" were the real problem, and his people just got caught in the crossfire.
Here's the part he left out.
Freedom Road organizers have themselves bragged on camera about sparking the 2020 riots, with a leader of the group telling supporters she identifies as "Marxist-Leninist" the same way Mao and Stalin did.
That claim checks out.
Supporters tied to the group have said on camera that they helped ignite the unrest that spread to dozens of American cities within hours of Minneapolis erupting in 2020, Dallas among them.
This is not a group with a credibility problem on the question of who starts trouble.
Now a member of that same organization stands in Dallas, in a shirt with the group's own initials, and points the finger at somebody else.
Inside the Dallas Against the Trump Agenda Coalition
Majumdar told Fox News Digital the march was organized by the Dallas Against the Trump Agenda Coalition, a group of 16 organizations he described as faith based, labor, and immigrant rights groups.
He said his people encountered police lines while trying to pull other marchers away from what he called rioters.
Asked directly if his group blocked roads, he dodged the question entirely.
Asked if he had a message for President Trump, he paused, smiled, and simply said thanks.
That is not the response of a man who thinks his side did anything wrong.
From the Twin Cities ICE Raids to the Charlie Kirk Anniversary, FRSO's Pattern
This march did not happen in a vacuum.
It landed on the eve of the anniversary of Charlie Kirk's assassination, an attack Trump has directly tied to far left rhetoric.
Dallas is not even the first city where FRSO members were swept up in federal law enforcement action this year.
In June, more than a dozen Twin Cities activists tied to the group were indicted after coordinated raids connected to anti-ICE organizing.
FRSO's response then was the same as Majumdar's response now: condemn the raids, condemn the arrests, and never once explain the underlying conduct that triggered them.
That is not a one-time misunderstanding.
That is a playbook.
Researchers at CSIS have documented a real rise in far left plots and attacks over the past decade, though the same report notes overall levels still remain lower than the historical toll from right-wing violence.
That caveat isn't what matters here.
What matters is a socialist organization that has already claimed credit for one wave of American riots sent members to a Trump event and then complained about being victimized when police responded.
You don't get to burn down the block and then demand sympathy when someone locks the door.
Freedom Road wants to be seen as peaceful faith based organizers one day and revolutionary Marxist-Leninists the next, and Thursday in Dallas both masks slipped at once.
The next time you hear "peaceful protest" out of this crowd, remember what their own people said about 2020, because they told you themselves who they are.
