  You are citing a source in support of this statement: "I’ll just point out that the plot to kidnap the governor had more ties to the anarchist left than to Trump." and your source does not back that up, and now you are saying "seems like a reach" about the subject of your own statement.

    - One member of the group attended a BLM rally. - Anarchism is traditionally associated with the left (broadly, that is, not the Democratic (big D) left) and one of the members called Trump a tyrant with an anarchist flag in the background. Trump can't simultaneously be an anarchist and a tyrant. That makes no sense. I also remind you that I merely said "there is more evidence" than "it is directly connected."

  From your source: Boogaloo movement more likely, experts say Cooter, who recently dug into this issue on Twitter, told us she’s seen "zero evidence that (the suspects) are antifa." She speculated that some people are conflating anarchy and antifa to try to divert attention away from the suspects’ militia connections.
