Communists are gathering at the Hyatt Regency in Denver, Colorado this weekend to protest the Western Conservative Summit, “a semi-annual far-right gathering and blight on Denver” presented by the Centennial Institute at Colorado Christian University. “Every rally and conference presents an opportunity for fascists to network and coordinate and we know from history what happens when they achieve such coordination,” reads the Facebook invitation. “We must fight fascism now or we are doomed to fight a stronger version of it in the future!”
Organizers of the protest include Denver Communists, Front Range Mutual Aid Network, WITCH Denver, Front Range Community Defense Collective, Anon Resistance Movements, Anti-Repression Colorado, and the Denver Action Network, and they’re calling it the Western BLM-Antifa Summit — although we’ve been assured by the president that Antifa is just an idea.
Andy Ngo has one of the flyers being passed out by Denver Communists:

“The far-right should never be allowed to spread their racist, misogynist, nationalist, and genocidal ideas without being vigorously opposed,” it reads, and there was some vigorous opposition outside the Hyatt.

Lil standoff before the police headed inside hotel & the anarchist/communist crew headed around the block and came back and banged on the hotel lobby windows. A local says this is the first time since around the election a scrum has gotten an excuse to show up like this in Denver pic.twitter.com/G4s9bg8LhF

Colorado Rep. Lauren Boebert had a three-word message for the protesters:
Spoke to @laurenboebert about the anarchist and communists singling her out as they protest the Western Conservative Summit in Denver. She has a message for them: "Get a job"https://t.co/OSX1a08YRY

To be clear, I identified myself as a journalist, not an attendee of the conference, and they’re protesting on a public street

Antifa has already smashed one camera, tried to smash the camera of an attendee, and threatened to smash mine.

Those white and green lights self-identified members of Antifa are flashing at me? They’re intended to break my phone’s camera and blind me by burning my retinas. I do have a mild headache, but I stayed mostly safe by leaving after men told me they would break my phone or else pic.twitter.com/NhKbHHlck2

Antifa now surrounding the lobby of the Hyatt and shining retinal-burning lasers into the building. This comes after a standoff with dozens of cops pic.twitter.com/tbmltov8LL

Antifa members are now banging the windows of the Denver Hyatt hosting the Western Conservative Summit. No sign of the cops on this side of the building. pic.twitter.com/uyh0crSh1p

This clip really grasps the whole ambiance. What the lasers look like when shot in your direction, the supposed feminists calling a female journalist a bitch, one of the early suggested threats that Antifa would break my phone. pic.twitter.com/rh5UeC5xgN

Antifa hounded the Denver Hyatt hosting the Western Conservative Summit for more than 3 hours, devolving into unrest including punches thrown, private property damage, threats against journalists, and a stand-off with cops deployed to protect the building. https://t.co/D0iWglte1Q

Just like a wolf pack, gang up on one person, try to goad him into a fight so they can pounce in numbers. You know, pussy fighting. Get them one on one, and they wilt like little flowers.

I really don't understand how anybody could defend these violent thugs. They want nothing else than vent their violence and do it this way because they know that they don't have to face any consequences for it.

Just once I’d like to see an antifa member look like they could show up to a job interview and not immediately be asked to leave

The right needs to stop being so nice and stop relying on police to protect you. The cops are NOT on your side.

These people are such losers. It’s a Friday night and instead of enjoying the weekend they choose to go screw with people because they want everyone else to feel as miserable and pathetic as they do.

@FBI look, here's some actual domestic terrorists.

Remember when Antifa carried a “We Don’t Want Biden … We Want Revenge” banner on Inauguration Day? Denver Communists aren’t very thrilled with “Jim Crow Joe” Biden and the Democrats, “who are the right’s partners in crime, not their opponents.”
