A video has gone viral on social media that reveals the shocking moment an aggressive mob of leftists surrounds a white woman and tries to bully her into joining their Black Lives Matter protest.
Footage shows the woman was sat at a Washington D.C. restaurant when she was mobbed by activists, who can be seen screaming demands into her face.
The crowd surrounded the woman and demanded she raises her fist in a "communist salute" in solidarity with the radical-left BLM thugs.
She stood her ground, however, and refused to give in to their bully tactics.
Washington Post journalist Fredrick Kunkle first shared the video.
Kunkle captured the incident on video and uploaded it to Twitter.

Captioning the video, Kunkle wrote: "In a scene that played out several times Monday, a Black Lives Matter protest that began in Columbia Heights confronted White diners outside D.C. restaurants, chanting ‘White silence is violence!’ and demanding White diners show their solidarity."

"In Adams Morgan, protesters screamed at Lauren B. Victor for several minutes for refusing to raise her fist with them,” Kunkle reported.
"‘Are you a Christian?’ a female protester demanded.
"‘Good for you — you stood your ground,’ Chuck Modiano said sarcastically as the crowd moved on.”
“Modiano, who had been yelling at Victor and moments later identified himself as a citizen journalist who writes for @Deadspin, told Victor he couldn’t understand why she was the only diner in the area who wouldn’t comply,” Kunkle continued.
"'What was in you, you couldn’t do this?’
"'I felt I was under attack,’ Victor, an urban planner, said, adding that she felt there was something wrong about being coerced to show support.”

"'In the moment, it didn’t feel right,’ Victor said, adding that she also could understand their anger,” Kunkle added.
"'I wasn’t actually frightened. I didn’t think they’d do anything to me,’ she said.
"'I’m very much with them. I’ve been marching with them for weeks and weeks and weeks.'"

Kunkle also shared another video from the incident.
Captioning the second video, he wrote: “Given many comments regarding protesters’ races, it’s worth noting that a young Black woman leading the protest Monday asked White protesters to step forward, as seen here.
"This direction was given more than once.”

"Really though, the brazen witlessness of these cosplaying activists aside, what happens when they do this to the wrong person?" Politico reporter Tim Alberta tweeted.
"Someone who suffers from anxiety attacks.
"Someone who just lost a loved one and is mourning.

"This is repulsive," leftist journalist Glenn Greenwald tweeted.
"And has nothing whatsoever to do with the murder of George Floyd, the horrific shooting of Jacob Blake, or even police brutality generally.
"It’s about all sorts of other things besides that.”

"When I imagine a Democrat ascendancy over the next few decades, these intolerant, woke mobs scare me the most," policy analyst Brian Riedl tweeted.
"I tell myself most Democrats are sane & moderate, but I fear these younger generations of Robespierres already dominating campuses, & someday fully conquering the Dems.”

"These people are deranged," journalist Jeryl Bier tweeted.
"There is nothing normal about this behavior, no matter how noble they believe their cause to be.
"Imagine screaming ‘white silence is violence’ in someone face while jabbing your finger at them and thinking you have the high ground.”
