  • Rapper Tufawon urged Americans to become more radical after joining leftist protesters in France.
  • Code Pink planned a Washington gathering from November 10 through November 12 and encouraged protesters to enter Congress.
  • French police made 2,500 arrests, while nearly 1,000 officers were injured during the unrest.
  • Vice President JD Vance blamed mass immigration and warned that French landmarks could continue burning.

A Minnesota rapper who traveled to France and joined leftist protests later called for Americans to become more radical and urged white people to “raise hell.” The message came as communist linked organizations in the United States promoted the French unrest and prepared demonstrations closer to home.

Rapper Tufawon, whose real name is Rafael Gonzalez Jr., appeared with Swedish activist Greta Thunberg outside Paul Éluard, the high school at the center of protests marked by violence, looting and arson. The artist, 40, from Minneapolis, addressed protesters wearing balaclavas and performed his song “No One Is Illegal.”

He also led chants of “f**k ICE” and “ICE out.” On Facebook, he told followers, “After returning home from France, I can clearly see how we need to become far more radicalized in the states.”

Tufawon pushed the point further, writing, “We have to be more enraged. Our comfort is hindering our progress. It really and truly needs to be white people that go outside and raise hell if we want to see revolution.”

He attacked neoliberals as being as bad as fascists and said the French had already recognized that. His post ended with a blunt command: “Go f–k s–t up white people. It’s your time.”

Heritage Foundation foreign policy expert Mike Gonzalez described the activity as a “red-green alliance” between leftists and Marxists. “They have a common enemy which is the Judeo-Christian democratic West. They want to dismantle it,” he told The Post.

Tufawon, who is part Native American and has appeared on The Breakfast Club, compared perceived school underfunding and declining public services in France with conditions in the United States. He said marginalized brown and black students were feeling the implications most severely.

He urged protesters in the United States to “take influence from the French” to defeat what he called the “same common enemy”. Gonzalez called that rhetoric dangerous and warned that people acting on the recommendation would create danger.

The rapper told The Post that his visit to Saint-Denis was unplanned and “very spontaneous”. He said he had been vacationing in Paris and departed before the violent protests during the following weekend.

He also rejected the claim that his posts were intended to provoke violence. Tufawon said they “fall under figurative speech and in no way, shape or form did I use them with the intent to incite violence of any kind”.

In France, rioters targeted cultural sites and businesses. The city hall in Limoges, which is 140 years old, was torched, while stores including Louis Vuitton, Hermes, and Apple were also hit as authorities appeared to lose control of the streets.

At the same time, Code Pink, a nonprofit linked to the CCP and backed by Neville Singham, planned a “taxpayer uprising” in Washington, DC, from November 10 through November 12. The group called for protesters to enter the halls of Congress during what it billed as “three days of peaceful resistance.”

Code Pink leader Jodie Evans, 72, a radical Hollywood filmmaker and wife of Shanghai-based tech millionaire Singham, urged “people to look at France” while calling Americans into the streets. The organization has been accused of spending millions of dollars teaching anti-American rhetoric to a new generation of activists.

The Singham-linked Party for Socialism and Liberation also pledged solidarity with French protesters in their “struggle for a socialist future”. On Instagram, the group wrote, “We in the United States stand with you in your struggle against capitalist austerity.”

Gonzalez, who fled communist Cuba in the 1970s, claimed China, Cuba and Iran were directing the protests. He also said many groups amplifying the French demonstrations were part of the Singham network.

French police made 2,500 arrests, and nearly 1,000 officers were injured over the weekend. President Macron said “nothing justifies” the riots and blamed “unrestrained violence” on “insurrectionist elements from radical far-left groups, joined by numerous criminals.”

Vice President JD Vance blamed mass immigration for the violence, writing that Western liberals had brought the Third World into France and other countries while ignoring assimilation and compatibility. “They were told it would lead to this, and they didn’t listen,” he wrote on X.

Vance added, “I pray that France, a beautiful country of amazing people, will stop this madness before more of its landmarks burn.” Code Pink and the Party for Socialism and Liberation declined to comment.
