A viral tweet posing as antifa was written by white nationalist group Identity Evropa.

It took off on Twitter, but got an even more viral second life in text messages, sent to people claiming their “friend” heard antifa was coming to loot residences.

White nationalist group Identity Evropa created a fake Antifa account, @Antifa_US, which Twitter says drew significant media attention with a tweet inciting violence before being suspended.

Twitter suspended other Identity Evropa impostor accounts.
