Firefighter caught on camera ripping pro-Palestinian agitator in Elmo costume near Ground Zero on 9/11
A firefighter in New York City called out a pro-Palestinian agitator wearing an Elmo costume with a Palestinian flag as "anti-American" Friday, not far from where the city’s 9/11 memorial ceremony was taking place at Ground Zero, according to video shot by Turning Point USA (TPUSA) and posted to X.
"F------ anti-American motherf-----. Go back to f------ Palestine. We don’t want you here," the man yelled to the protester. It was unclear if he was a current or retired firefighter.
The man told the protester to also take former President Barack Obama, NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani, Gov. Kathy Hochul and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez with them.
MAMDANI DRAWS FURY FROM 9/11 MOURNERS OVER GROUND ZERO APPEARANCE: ‘DISRESPECTFUL’
"Take ‘em all. They’re all no f-----g good!" he yelled. "You’re no f-----g good."
After the firefighter walked away from the agitator, someone yelled in the video, "The Jews are committing a genocide."
It wasn’t clear if it was one of the protesters who yelled it.
"Frustration from Americans attending the 9/11 memorial service a few blocks away is spilling over," TPUSA’s X post said.
Fox News Digital has reached out to TPUSA for comment.
The FDNY told Fox News Digital: "We are aware of the video circulating of someone wearing a uniform having a verbal altercation today. This person appears to be from another fire department and is not and has never been a member of the FDNY."
Friday marked 25 years since the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City; the Pentagon in Washington, D.C.; and in Pennsylvania.
25 YEARS LATER, 9/11 MEMORIES ENDURE AS NATION GATHERS TO HONOR NEARLY 3,000 LIVES LOST

President Donald Trump gave a keynote speech at the Pentagon 9/11 ceremony Friday.
EXCLUSIVE: Pence group knocks Vance plan to pay stay-at-home parents up to $9K per child
A proposal backed by Vice President JD Vance to subsidize stay-at-home parents with up to $9,000 per child annually would invite government intrusion and undermine the initiative's original purpose of encouraging work and independence, according to a group founded by former Vice President Mike Pence.
In a one-page document, Advancing American Freedom (AAF) urged conservatives to oppose the plan, which it said would "expose the sanctity of the family to government intrusion, punish work, and create new avenues for fraud."
Vance is pushing for the expansion of the Child Care and Development Fund (CCDF), which was created during the Clinton administration to help low-income and working-class families pay for childcare.
The program provides about $9,000 per child annually, with funds typically paid directly to childcare providers.
CONSERVATIVES CAN FIGHT THE RISE OF SOCIALISM BY DEFENDING THE AMERICAN FAMILY
Under Vance's draft plan, families with a stay-at-home parent earning below state income limits could receive up to $9,000 per child annually. To qualify, a married couple must feature one spouse who stays at home while the other works at least 35 hours a week.
Unmarried couples and non-working single parents would not be eligible.
"Parenting is the most difficult job in the world. Vice President Vance is right to focus on the family," AAF President Tim Chapman told Fox News Digital.
"Unfortunately, as sympathetic groups around the movement have noted, this particular proposal would do more harm than good, opening up the family to government audits, benefit cliffs, dependency and new disincentives to work."
AAF looks forward to the continued debate about family policy and the future of the conservative movement, Chapman added.

Roughly 870,000 families — 80% of whom are single parents, predominantly mothers — receive up to $9,000 a year per child, the AAF said. Expanding eligibility to stay-at-home parents, the group warned, could create more competition for already limited resources. The CCDF is already stretched thin, with nearly one-third of states having waitlists, according to AAF.
Vance's plan would require an auditable "childcare service," the group said, and could open the door to fraud if not properly monitored.
"We generally like these kinds of different creative proposals. There's no job that's more difficult than raising kids," John Shelton, the vice president of policy at AAF, told Fox News Digital. "And, so, that's a laudable thing, but the devil's in the details.
"What should be this opportunity for celebration and excitement could actually end up being this huge setback where you get a $1,000, $5,000 bonus, and suddenly you lose out on access to north of $10,000 depending on how many kids you have," he added.
"That's a disincentive to work to kind of grow and get promoted. That is not the kind of conservative ideal for how these programs should work."
NEWT GINGRICH: WANT TO REFORM MEDICAID? ACCOUNTABILITY IS THE WAY FORWARD
Furthermore, stay-at-home spouses would be penalized for taking on remote, part-time or gig work, and families could take a financial hit for receiving a raise or promotion at work.
"Welfare’s goal is to get people into work and off of welfare," the AAF said. "This proposal would do the opposite."
PHYLLIS SCHLAFLY WAS RIGHT: AMERICA MUST PUT BABIES AND MOTHERS FIRST
Supporters argue stay-at-home parents should receive financial support on par with families that use subsidized childcare services.
"Parents who hand their kids to commercial day care get subsidy payments, while parents who bear the toil, expense, and opportunity cost of raising their kids at home currently get ZERO," Roger Severino, vice president of the Heritage Foundation, wrote on X. "It’s illogical and unjust and this proposal would level the playing field."
Shelton praised the Trump administration’s intent but argued the policy's execution falls short.
"I give the administration [an] A for effort, but a C or a D for implementation of what we've seen so far," he said.
Fox News Digital reached out to the White House and Vance's office for comment.
30% of college students say violence acceptable way to stop speakers on campuses, survey finds
Thirty percent of college students nationwide believe using violence is an acceptable way to stop a controversial speaker at a campus event, according to a new survey from the Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression (FIRE).
Specifically, 3% said it was always acceptable, 12% said it was sometimes acceptable and 16% said it was rarely acceptable to use violence as a means of prohibiting a speaker from appearing on a college campus, according to FIRE's survey.
The data comes a year after Charlie Kirk was assassinated during a college event held by his organization, Turning Point USA, on Sept. 10, 2025, while Kirk was engaging in debate with students.
I’M A UNIVERSITY PRESIDENT. OUR PROFESSION SHOULD FINISH WHAT CHARLIE KIRK STARTED
FIRE noted in its findings that the percentage has declined from last year. In 2025, 34% of students believed using violence as a protest action was acceptable.
However, this year's findings are up 10 points from four years ago, according to FIRE.
Seventy percent of students nationwide said in this year's findings that using violence was never acceptable to oppose a speaker.
Similarly, 69% of students nationwide believe shouting down a speaker is acceptable, which is down three points from last year. However, the 2026 findings are still up seven points from four years ago.
FIRE Data Analyst Chapin Lenthall-Cleary told Fox News Digital in a statement, "We’re pleased that the percentage of students who find it acceptable to answer speech with violence has decreased. But so long as students and outside speakers believe that voicing disagreement or sharing controversial views could get them hurt, speech will remain chilled on campuses."
Lenthall-Cleary said FIRE wasn't sure what caused a decline in this year's results with regard to acceptable responses to speakers on campus.
"It's possible that students who once believed violence was an acceptable way to stop a campus speech changed their minds after witnessing Charlie Kirk get brutally assassinated for speaking his mind on a campus," he added.
"Back in the early 2020s, when we started doing the rankings, liberal students were about twice as accepting of violence as conservative students. Since then, there's been a dramatic rise in acceptance of violence among conservative and moderate students, especially male students.
JEWISH CAMPUS LIFE AT A ‘CROSSING POINT’ AS STUDENTS WEIGH ANTISEMITISM RISKS, NEW REPORT SHOWS
"Now, liberal and conservative students are roughly equally accepting of violence. Mercifully, overall support for violence declined slightly this year, but over 30% of students still say it's at least rarely acceptable to use violence to stop a speaker."
Kirk was assassinated on the campus of Utah Valley University's campus.
FIRE's survey found that the assassination had a lasting effect, both negative and positive, on free speech on UVU's campus.
CAMPUS ANTISEMITISM EXTENDS BEYOND STUDENT PROTESTS AND INTO CLASSROOMS, ADL WARNS
The organization's rankings also include a comprehensive list of where colleges rank with regard to free speech and expression.
FIRE's findings are based on surveys of 62,997 undergraduate students enrolled in four-year degree programs at 262 colleges and universities.

According to the 2027 College Free Speech Rankings report, the top five schools for free speech are the University of Chicago, Claremont McKenna College, the Georgia Institute of Technology, Michigan Technological University and Vanderbilt University.
WWE's Rey Mysterio reflects on Triplemania involvement, says he's unfazed going into match with 7-foot-3 giant
Before the 619 became a widely known finishing move, before Rey Mysterio became a WWE champion and the superstar he is today, he was getting his first opportunities in the ring at AAA.
Mysterio took part in the first-ever Triplemania event in 1993. At the time, he was known as Rey Misterio Jr. and he teamed up with Volador and Misterioso to take on Tony Arce, Vulcano and Rocco Valente – known as Los Destructores. More than three decades later, AAA is a part of WWE, Mysterio is the general manager of AAA and he’s in the main event of Triplemania 34 Night 1 in Las Vegas.
COMPLETE PRO WRESTLING COVERAGE ON OUTKICK
"It’s a very special moment for me in so many ways," he told OutKick Dropkick. "The fact that I’m now the new GM of AAA. The fact that AAA was the first company that opened the doors for me and I was at the very first AAA show back in ’92. I was at the very first Triplemania in ’93. So, to see this come full circle and to be in the position where I’m at now, it’s been an amazing ride, man.
"A lot of tasks at hand but I’ve been able to manage and control certain things to a certain extent. Obviously, things got out of control a little bit when I decided to jump on top of Omos and create this match we have tonight here for the first Triplemania in Las Vegas, which is also very special. We are, in the first time ever in the history of AAA, we’re doing a first-time, two-night Triplemania event. The one tonight here in Las Vegas and in two different countries and then Sunday in Mexico City."
Mysterio’s rivalry with the 7-foot-3 giant Omos will seemingly come to an end on Friday night. He was forced to suspend Omos after he injured Galeno and attacked Mysterio in August. Omos showed up to Ola de Color as a paid spectator and attacked Mysterio again, with the help of Dominik Mysterio.
Over the course of his career, Mysterio has slayed many beasts. He’s conquered mountains more than once. It’s why going up against Omos isn’t doing much to make him worried.

"I’ve felt his power. Very strong dude. Very intimidating," he said of Omos. "But it doesn’t faze me. I’ve seen giants before. I was just saying a minute ago, from the moment I started training at 8 years old, I was the smallest kid in the class. The youngest kid after me was probably 16, 17. They were obviously much bigger than me. I’ve always been in the ring with bigger people, bigger opponents, so, it doesn’t faze me. I’m not scared. I’m motivated. I’m antsy to step in the ring and I’m looking forward to tonight.
"As a GM, I need to make a statement that no superstar or Luchador in the AAA locker room is going to try to intimidate me as the GM for AAA. And they have to know their boundaries and they have to not step over those boundaries and respect authority. In this case, this is what I had to do for Omos to respect some authority."
If Mysterio loses, Omos will be reinstated to the AAA roster. Should he win, Omos will never be allowed to compete in AAA again.
Triplemania 34 Night 1 takes place at the MGM Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Friday night. Night 2 is set for Sunday at Arena CDMX. The events begin at 10 p.m. ET and can be seen on YouTube.
De Niro calls controversial Mamdani police comments 'ridiculous' as he defends mayor going to 9/11 service
Outspoken liberal actor Robert De Niro agreed with some of Mayor Zohran Mamdani’s critics that his comments on law enforcement were "ridiculous" but still argued the mayor should attend Friday’s 9/11 memorial.
Political rancor has threatened to cast a long shadow over this year's Sept. 11 remembrance events, marking 25 years since the tragedy that rocked the United States. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani's past rhetoric and links to terror sympathizers are spurring intense backlash ahead of the city's events memorializing the World Trade Center attacks, with Republicans and people whose lives were changed by the attacks demanding he not attend.
The Hollywood Reporter noted the controversy when it spoke to De Niro in an interview published Thursday, asking, "Do you think he should be there?"
"I don’t see why he shouldn’t come," De Niro said. "He’s the mayor. I haven’t heard him say or do anything yet that would disqualify him from being there. Maybe I’m naive, but you have to give the guy a chance. He’s not a part of what happened."
MAMDANI HEADS TO 9/11 MEMORIAL DESPITE 110,000-SIGNATURE PUSH FROM VICTIMS’ FAMILIES TO STAY AWAY
One of the past comments Mamdani has been grilled about repeatedly is his criticism of the NYPD amid the George Floyd riots of 2020. Mamdani called to "defund the police" in 2020 and labeled the NYPD "racist, anti-queer and a major threat to public safety."
When De Niro was asked further about whether he could understand why some families would find it problematic, he paused for a moment and answered, "I understand their pain, but I still think he should be there.
"I think this stems from tension he’s had with the fire department and the comments about defund the police, which I don’t think he really meant," the interviewer added.
"Well he did say it. And, of course, it’s ridiculous," De Niro said. "You can’t defund the police. It’s not going to happen. But I still think he should be at the memorial."
He went on to suggest Mamdani could use the opportunity "as a bridge" to unite people.
When asked about President Donald Trump, however, De Niro offered a far sharper reply, saying, "We have to stop him. It’s insane. We have to send people to voting booths and make sure they can go in. Just watch to keep them safe. It’s crazy we’re here, but this is where we are. We have to protect our elections."
Entertainment commentator Christian Toto responded to the actor’s interview.
"The Hollywood Reporter eggs on Robert De Niro, sans fact checking, because it agrees with most of what he says. The outlet understands the actor's lack of information on key political subjects, too, but it cheers him on because he's anti-Trump and anti-GOP," Toto told Fox News Digital.
"Meanwhile, the actor hasn't a clue about the mayor's past comments, his toxic associations or why his 'defund the police' beliefs are so damaging. He's a useful idiot for the left, and The Hollywood Reporter is all too happy to magnify his idiocy."
9/11 FAMILIES PUSH TO BAN MAMDANI FROM 25TH ANNIVERSARY REMEMBRANCE OVER 'HOSTILE' RECORD
An online petition led by family members of people killed on Sept. 11 — signed by over 100,000 people — called on Mamdani to skip the memorial.
"Mr. Mamdani has praised Brooklyn Imam Siraj Wahhaj, who has been linked to radical Islam, was named as an alleged co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and served as a character witness for the 'Blind Sheikh,' who was convicted in 1995 of plotting terror attacks against the United States," the petition said.
"Mr. Mamdani has endorsed candidates such as Aber Kawas, who described 9/11 as an attack 'a couple of people did in the context of U.S. capitalism, racism, White supremacy, and Islamophobia,' and who also expressed sympathy for Ahmed Ferhani, who pleaded guilty to plotting to blow up a Manhattan synagogue."
Mamdani and other socialist candidates' associated with far-left activist Hasan Piker have also gotten intense scrutiny over Piker's past comments that the United States "deserved" the attacks, remarks he promptly walked back at the time but continue to haunt him and his political circle. Mamdani has also condemned the comment.
Mamdani has faced backlash for giving a ceremonial pen from a 9/11 remembrance ceremony to a top aide who once represented a convicted al Qaeda member.
Mamdani handed the pen to his chief counsel, Ramzi Kassem. Kassem previously represented Ahmed al-Darbi, who pleaded guilty to war crime charges tied to al Qaeda plots against commercial ships and was the brother-in-law of Khalid al-Mihdhar, one of the hijackers aboard American Airlines Flight 77, which crashed into the Pentagon, killing 184.
Rafael Mangual, the head of research for the Manhattan Institute’s Policing & Public Safety Initiative, argued that De Niro and the interviewer sorely missed the mark in recalling Mamdani's record.
"I’m not sure I share Mr. DeNiro’s dismissal of calls for Mayor Mamdani to keep away from the official memorial ceremony at the site of the World Trade Center on Friday," he said. "Nor do I think the mayor’s past expressions of vitriol for the NYPD — whose members bravely ran to the assistance of their fellow Americans that tragic morning 25 years ago — are the only justifications for the anger of the families that have expressed their preference for the mayor not to attend Friday’s ceremony."
"As a rapper, Mamdani praised the Holy Land Five, a group convicted of providing material support to Hamas, an Islamist terrorist organization," Mangual continued. "On the mayoral campaign trail, Mamdani posed for a photo op with Siraj Wahaj, an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing who also testified as a character witness on behalf of Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman, who had lectured at Wahaj’s mosque prior to being convicted of several terrorism charges in the mid-1990s.
"During his campaign, he also paled around with Hasan Piker, who stated that America deserved 9/11 and praised the mujahideen for shooting and wounding then-Navy SEAL and current Congressman Dan Crenshaw," he added.
"And as mayor, Mamdani hired as his chief legal counsel Ramzi Kassem, who volunteered to represent pro bono a Guantánamo Bay detainee and convicted al Qaeda terrorist Ahmed al-Darbi. When coupled with his vitriolic criticisms of the very institutions tasked with keeping us safe from terrorist threats, the wishes of the families De Niro was asked about become much harder to ignore."

Mary Marslender, a former Trump appointee and senior advisor to the U.S. Senate and now a Republican consultant, argued that Mamdani cannot outrun his past call to defund the police so easily.
"Mamdani has spent years portraying New York’s brave first responders as the problem, and Robert De Niro knows that. Mamdani ran for mayor on a platform of defunding the police, only walking back his stance for political gain — not out of genuine conviction," she said.
"He has also refused to distance himself from extremist voices who blame America for 9/11 and declined to condemn the phrase 'globalize the intifada,' claiming he won’t police language," Marslender added. "Robert De Niro’s defense of Mamdani’s views reflects a troubling disregard for the values that unite Americans."
Former RNC national spokesperson Elizabeth Pipko argued that De Niro has a long pattern of clumsy political commentary.
"Robert De Niro is again showing his privilege and ignorance," she said. "He has decided because he aligns politically with Mamdani, he will defend him without knowing the facts. Similarly, he will attack Trump, even when discussing 9/11, because he dislikes him, again without knowing any facts."
"Mamdani has said horrific things about the NYPD and those who protect our great country. Yes, but unfortunately, he has also praised a man that was named by federal prosecutors as a co-conspirator in connection with the 1993 World Trade Center bombing case," Marslender continued.
"He campaigns with Hasan Piker, who has a framed photo of the Twin Towers burning standing on his desk. He refuses to condemn the phrase 'globalize the intifada.' Ironically, that phrase is exactly what 9/11 was about.
"Just once, I’d like to see De Niro confronted with these facts and the sad reality of his own ignorance," she said. "I’d be curious what his excuses would be then."
Fox News Digital reached out to Mamdani’s office for comment but did not immediately receive a response.

Clinton, Bush received multiple warnings on bin Laden hijack plots before 9/11, declassified files show
Former presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush were given multiple warnings that 9/11 organizer Usama bin Laden and his terror network were planning to hijack large commercial jets in an effort to attack the United States, according to a batch of files released by the Trump administration Friday.
The reports, contained in previously classified documents from presidential daily briefs (PDBs) and high-level CIA intelligence memorandums, noted that operatives had already evaded security checks during a trial run at an unidentified New York airport three years before members of al Qaeda took down the World Trade Center.
The plotters aimed to leverage hijacked flights to demand the release of imprisoned extremists, including Sheikh Omar Abdel-Rahman and Ramzi Yousef.
USS COLE COMMANDER RECALLS CHILLING 9/11 WARNING AT CIA JUST 20 MINUTES BEFORE FIRST PLANE HIT
"Some members of the bin Ladin network have received hijack training, according to various sources, but no group directly tied to bin Ladin's al-Qa'ida organization has ever carried out an aircraft hijacking," a Dec. 4, 1998 presidential daily briefing states. "Bin Ladin could be weighing other types of operations against US aircraft."
Months before the December 1998 briefing, a Sept. 10, 1998, PDB memorandum noted that bin Laden’s preferred option was to strike on U.S. soil in Washington, D.C. That report warned that the terror network responsible for the East Africa embassy bombings could possibly fly a plane packed with explosives into an American city.
AMERICA BUILT A FORTRESS AFTER 9/11; THEN THE THREAT STARTED HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT
Throughout 1998, U.S. intelligence agencies tracked bin Laden's movements and support system, while identifying associates and sympathizers operating across several states, including New York, California, Texas, Michigan and Florida, the documents state.
The warnings spanned two presidential administrations. An Aug. 6, 2001, PDB delivered to Bush informed him that the FBI uncovered patterns of suspicious activity inside the U.S. consistent with preparations for hijackings or other attacks, as well as recent surveillance of federal buildings in New York.

"Al-Qa’ida members — including some who are US citizens — have resided in or traveled to the US for years, and the group apparently maintains a support structure that could aid attacks," that document states.
"After US missile strikes on his base in Afghanistan in 1998, bin Laden told followers he wanted to retaliate in Washington."
AT GROUND ZERO, 9/11 FAMILIES TURN TO TRUMP AS OBAMA’S OLD DECISION RESURFACES
Weeks before the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, a daily brief for Bush said the FBI was conducting around 70 field investigations throughout the U.S. that it believed were related to bin Laden.
The documents were released as part of a broader push by the Trump administration to shed light on what intelligence agencies knew before the attacks.
"Today I authorized the release of 71 Presidential Daily Briefs to honor the lives of those killed on 9/11, along with CIA officers who subsequently gave their lives to the fight," CIA Director John Ratcliffe said in a statement posted on X.
In his second administration, Trump has also released classified files on the assassinations of President John F. Kennedy, his brother Robert F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.
Tua Tagovailoa ruled out of Falcons' opener with oblique injury, Cooper Rush steps in against Steelers
Less than a week after being named the Atlanta Falcons’ starting quarterback, Tua Tagovailoa will miss at least Week 1 because of an oblique injury. The Falcons will travel to Pittsburgh without Tagovailoa or Michael Penix Jr. in uniform.
First-year head coach Kevin Stefanski told reporters that Tagovailoa has officially been ruled out and is now "week-to-week." Penix was already listed as out last week.
Stefanski said Tagovailoa's injury is unrelated to the tight back he arrived at training camp with, which cost him about a week of practices, according to ESPN.

Veteran quarterback Cooper Rush will now be QB1 on Sunday.
Penix, a 2024 first-round pick, started nine of the Falcons’ first 10 games last season, missing the Week 8 loss to the Miami Dolphins with an injury before returning in Week 9.
He tore his ACL in a Week 11 matchup against the Carolina Panthers and has since been medically cleared to return, though he recently told reporters he wants to feel closer to full strength before taking the field in 2026.
FALCONS NAME SIXTH DIFFERENT WEEK 1 STARTING QUARTERBACK IN SIX YEARS
"I had that conversation and I just told [coach Stefanski], 'I'm not where I want to be right now,'" Penix said earlier this month. "I want to be able to be 100 percent so I can help this team win football games. And I'm really close."
The Falcons signed Rush after Tagovailoa’s apparent back issue surfaced earlier in training camp.
Rush has appeared in 42 regular-season games over eight NFL seasons, seven of them with the Dallas Cowboys. He spent last season with the Baltimore Ravens.
Jack Strand, an undrafted free agent from Minnesota State Moorhead, will serve as Rush’s backup. He quickly won over fans with a series of highlight-reel plays during the preseason, finishing the exhibition slate with 306 yards, one touchdown and one interception.
Rutgers ‘Antifa’ professor who fled US over political atmosphere after Kirk murder pens book on ‘fascist’ US
Rutgers University professor and "Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook" author Mark Bray is releasing a new book recounting his decision to flee the United States with his family in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination, portraying modern America as consumed by a "fascist present."
Bray’s forthcoming book, "Unpunctuated Death Threats: Notes from a Fascist Present," is scheduled for release Jan. 19 and chronicles the professor’s departure for Spain after he allegedly received death threats and had his home address circulated online.
The publisher explicitly connects Bray’s decision to leave to the political atmosphere after Kirk’s murder, saying that "in the wake of" the assassination, Bray took threats against him seriously and attempted to leave the country with his wife and two young children.
CHARLIE KIRK ASSASSINATION: TIMELINE OF UTAH CAMPUS SHOOTING; TYLER ROBINSON CHARGED
Kirk, founder of Turning Point USA, was assassinated Sept. 10, 2025, while speaking at Utah Valley University during his American Comeback Tour.
The publisher says federal agents stopped and questioned Bray at the airport before the family eventually made it to Spain, highlighting that the incident "left him a wreck."
"Unpunctuated Death Threats is an intimate journey to the heart of how this Trumpian moment and the new fascism it has birthed — a world of far-right influencers, social media soldiers, and networked violence that chased the author into hiding — has shockingly made the United States a place to flee from," the book description reads.
"With fascism resurgent and genocide raging in Gaza, Bray turns anew to his Jewish identity in search of answers."
In October, members of Rutgers’ Turning Point USA chapter launched a petition spearheaded by students to remove Bray, citing concerns over his past statements.
LIBERAL FACULTY STILL HUGELY OUTNUMBER CONSERVATIVES IN HIGHER EDUCATION: REPORT
Bray, who moved abroad "for safety reasons" and said he had been doxxed and "received multiple death threats," has expressed strong support for "antifacism" in previous online posts.
His book, "Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook," openly calls for "militant anti-fascism" and says "at the very least 50 percent of author proceeds will go to the International Anti-Fascist Defense Fund, which is administered by more than three hundred antifa from eighteen countries."
Antifa is a decentralized, far-left, anti-fascist movement that has attracted controversy for violent tactics from some of its cells.

Bray is also the author of other books defending anarchist and Antifa movements, including, "The Anarchist Inquisition: Assassins, Activists, and Martyrs in Spain and France," and "Translating Anarchy: The Anarchism of Occupy Wall Street."
In previous online posts, Bray has expressed strong support for "antifacism," saying in an Oct. 4, 2025, post on Bluesky, a social media app popular with liberals, "It’s true that sometimes the law holds back Trump and affords us some semblance of safety. But the more we lean into the law as our shield, the more powerful it will become as a sword when Trump changes it in his favor and wields it against us. Only mass antifascism, legal or not, can save us."
In a statement to Fox News Digital, Megan Doyle, a sophomore at Rutgers, said, "Mark Bray’s portrayal of himself as a victim in his new book is highly ironic. Considering his donations to the International Antifa legal defense fund, his advocacy for political violence … it’s hard to believe he’s a victim with his horrible actions.
"It’s even more difficult to associate him as a victim when he fled the country to Spain, an Antifa hot spot, to promote his book, collect thousands of dollars in donations and yet still remains employed by Rutgers University, funded by New Jersey taxpayers."
HOW CHARLIE KIRK’S ASSASSINATION CHANGED THE WAY CONSERVATIVES APPROACH HOSTILE OPPONENTS
Fox News Digital reached out to Bray and Rutgers University for comment.
