On Monday, the 37-year-old has a court date in connection with charges he’s facing in Philadelphia that include aggravated assault and ethnic intimidation for allegedly being part of an Antifa mob in November that attacked two Marines, Alejandro Godinez and Luis Torres, both Hispanic. Alcoff and two others charged in the attack have pleaded not guilty.
But while Democratic officials are distancing themselves from Alcoff now, until recently he was a well-connected, aspiring political player in Washington who may have even had a hand in key policy proposals.
His endorsement apparently mattered when several congressional Democrats in February 2018 issued press releases with his quote backing their bill on regulating payday lenders.
As the payday campaign manager for the liberal group Americans for Financial Reform, Alcoff participated in congressional Democratic press conferences, was a guest on a House Democratic podcast and met with senior officials at the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau from 2016 through 2018.
He was also pictured with now-House Financial Services Committee Chairwoman Maxine Waters, D-Calif., and ranking Democrat on the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio. Both committees oversee financial regulatory policies Alcoff was advocating.
Alcoff met with then CFPB Director Richard Cordray and other senior CFPB officials on April 2016, again in March 2017 and a third time in May 2017, as first reported by the Washington Free Beacon.
During this time, he reportedly was an Antifa leader in Washington.

Threw him under the bus!! Look what the Democratic party did to our veterans deployed overseas. Do you young newbie social justice warriors think they give two shits about you?? Try having a communist pointing an AK at you and you can't even "LOAD" your weapon until given a direct order
Time to start kicking some ass
For any of you local idiot socialist this happened to me while deployed at Guantanamo bay guarding all the Muslim terrorists that your letting into this once great country and even electing to Congress. You idiots should ALL be made to serve a two mandatory service to our country and see for yourself what's really going on in the world.
Why would I try that? And does the communist give you time to load your weapon?
Like the segment you had yesterday about democrats out to destroy everything good.
Who is surprised? The Democrats and George Soros is running scared because ANTIFA and the other ANARCHIST groups are failing them. Trump needs to declare Soros as an enemy of the State and confiscate all his / families assets and ban him / them from the US and US territories.
AOC and Antifa on same page.
