What was said

"He has called the anti-war movement left-wing fascists and demand that we be arrested. So it's a it's all of this is political gaslighting against the anti-genocide movement against the anti-war movement."

Sawant alleges that Smith has characterised anti-war organisers as “left-wing fascists” and argued they should be arrested. She frames the remark as an attempt to delegitimise protests against US wars and Israel’s military campaign.
