Professor Fled the US After Death Threats

Rutgers University professor Mark Bray, who studies fascism, received an email that changed his life while watching the MLB playoffs.

Bray, a historian and author of Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook, was accused of "supporting terrorist behavior" in an online campaign.

It's too late for preventative antifascism. I think we're in a new era.

Bray notes, "I'm not suspected of any crimes. I'm just a professor."
