So the guy replacing convicted felon Michael Grimm really wants to make his mark with nuisance legislation that protects those very fine people of Charlottesville’s “unite the right” rally.
How dimwitted is Daniel Donovan to be against antifascism, because that makes Donovan by double-negation, a fascist. But maybe that’s what Donovan wants, a masked fascism.

(a) In General.—Chapter 13 of title 18, United States Code, is amended by inserting after section 249 the following:
Ҥ 250. Interference with protected rights while in disguise
“(a) In General.—Whoever, whether or not acting under color of law, while in disguise, including while wearing a mask, injures, oppresses, threatens, or intimidates any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District in the free exercise or enjoyment of any right or privilege secured to him by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or because of his having so exercised the same, shall be fined under this title, imprisoned not more than 15 years, or both.
As if unmasking demonstrators will stop murderers from driving into crowds or actual fascists from assembling ad hoc masking from helmets, respirators, and goggles because of tear gas use in demonstrations.
