Hatfield US Courthouse, a building targeted during weeks of violent demonstrations by Antifa and Black Lives Matter rioters."White Power symbol in window outside the US Court House," McKniff tweeted along with the video. Her tweet was quickly shared by other Antifa accounts, racking up thousands of video views within hours. Antifa group Pacific Northwest Youth Liberation Front an image of the hand, adding, "Inside the Federal Courthouse in Portland: White Power symbol on a background of 3s— '33' being used to signify 'KKK.'"However, as it turns out, the image is not a white supremacist or KKK symbol but rather a poster for the Trail Blazers NBA basketball team produced by NBC Sports Northwest.
