The moment a right-wing Proud Boy protester knocks out an antifa demonstrator is going viral online in the wake of the Portland riots last weekend.
Ethan Michael Nordean, also known as Rufio, is seen punching a reported antifa protester, who was wielding a baton, in the face.
The hit was so strong it sent the man’s sunglasses flying in the air, and it appeared to knock him out instantly. He then fell to the ground, seemingly knocked out cold. His limp body was then dragged away by two others.
The knockout happened in the midst of clashes between members of the far-right Patriot Prayer group, the Proud Boys group and their supporters and antifa counter-protesters.
Footage of the punch was captured and shared in an edited, packaged video by the Very Fake News YouTube channel. The moment has been widely shared on social media by right-wing activists.
