The American/Anglo-Saxon right wing pundits are now is the full too
It's very hard to say how much anti-immigration fueled (pun intended) those riots. It's clearly important for a good part of the protesters, but we cannot say that it is the majority. There are no leaders and the main and only clear issue (gas tax) has already been canceled last week. Bringing back the fortune tax has been discussed far more than immigration.
You do realize that antifa and far left groups are parts of the Yellow Vests too, right? I literally met Philippe Poutou with a yellow vest on Saturday, he's the leader and previous Presidential candidate of the New Anticapitalist Party, formerly known as Revolutionary Communist League. His most famous moments was when he tore Le Pen and Fillon a new asshole during the first presidential debate. Yet he was demonstrating freely and nobody was hostile to him.
We have videos in this very thread of Antifa attacking the yellow vest. The fact Poutou is also there doesn't change that. Plus I wouldn't trust his motivations one little bit.
