In this episode of American Thought Leaders ??, we sit down with Gabriel Nadales, a former Antifa member, to discuss Antifa’s history and ideological roots and what it was like to be a member.

Nadales now works at the Leadership Institute “helping conservatives fight against liberal bias on America’s college campuses.”

This interview was filmed at the CPAC convention in late February 2020.
