They were trolled royally.

"An image of a hand posed in an "okay" symbol inside the window of a Portland federal courthouse was mistaken for a "white supremacist" and Ku Klux Klan sign by Antifa social media accounts."
"An image of a hand posed in an "okay" symbol inside the window of a Portland federal courthouse was mistaken for a "white supremacist" and Ku Klux Klan sign by Antifa social media accounts.
"The video uploaded to Twitter on Saturday by Morgan McKniff, a Portland-based Antifa activist and self-described "citizen journalist," claims to show a racist symbol in the window of the Mark O. 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 tweeted out 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.'"
Trolling silly people consumed with guilt and need to virtue-signal
4chan trolling turned the OK sign into a symbol of hate
Like Beto O'Rourke, our guilt has led us into so much silliness...and even into serious destruction by trolling gullible liberals into thinking a particular statue or monument is offensive. The ignorant susceptibles may cause us to look back in laughter, embarrassment, or worse, disgust at what our virtue-signaling has wrought, yet one has to be concerned for this generation and the damage they seem to be doing to our nation.

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. The three fingers symbolize three points.. . . More

4chan trolling turned the OK sign into a symbol of hate
. . . "In February 2017, 4chan users started the hoax "Operation O-KKK," a call to spread the sign around the internet and claim it as a symbol of white supremacy. The anonymous 4channer who started it added a graphic demonstrating how the gesture could spell out the letters WP for "white power." The same month, Media Matters for America accused Gateway Pundit founder Jim Hoft, who made the gesture in a photograph in the White House press briefing room, of using a "hate symbol."
"Leftists have dug so deep down in their lunacy, we must force [them] to dig more," the 4channer wrote in their post. "Until the rest of society ain't going anywhere near that s**t." Just look at the documentation." . . .
