When Trump visited Philadelphia on Tuesday, he was greeted by about 100 protesters and a truly horrifying sight: Gritty, the new Flyers mascot, who has been adopted by Antifa forces in the city.
The Liberation Project, a Philadelphia-based social justice group, said Gritty is inherently Antifa. “Gritty is a symbol of Philadelphia,” the group told The Daily Beast. “It’s not that he’s an anti-fascist character, it’s that he’s representative of the people, and the people of Philadelphia are grittily anti-fascist.”
Sorry, I don’t have a photo of my favorite Gritty sign, which read, “This town only has room for one orange asshole.”
