MAGAts Falls For Satire Post Claiming "FBI Raided Antifa Headquarters And Found Vats Of Paint-Stripping Algae" [View all]

This. Is. Premium.
Qanon and the knuckle dragging MAGAts actual...no.no...stay with me here...actually believe there is
1) An Antifa HQ...and
2) the FBI found incriminating paint stripping algae, and there's a TON of mouth breathers posting this stupidity:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Fact-checking organization Lead Stories reports:

Did the U.S. Park Police arrest “antifa operatives” for dumping algae into the Reflecting Pool on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.?

No, that’s not true: The story originated on a Facebook page known for posting satirical content that carries the disclaimer, “Nothing on this page is real,” and the image accompanying the claim is stamped with the same warning. In addition, Lead Stories found no matching reports from any credible news outlets.
The fake story originated in a June 16, 2026, post on the America’s Last Line Of Defense (ALLOD) page , which is run by Christopher Blair, a self-described liberal who has a documented history of publishing satirical or fabricated content.
According to a post that surfaced on X, the FBI agents have reported the discovery of multiple boxes of algae seeds at Antifa headquarters. The post was accompanied by an image of the seeds along with the watermark of CBS News.

The post has garnered strong reactions from online users who are blaming Antifa and leftists for the algae blooms and peeling blue paint of the pool, stalling President Donald Trump’s ambitious plan to renovate the iconic pool.

There are no official announcements or statements from the FBI that support the claim of discovering algae seeds. Moreover, Antifa is not a registered organization with active membership; hence, the mention of its headquarters is baseless.
