Ever since the far-left group whose name itself is an irony (anti-fascist…) started taking their extreme liberal rhetoric to the streets, many have called into question: How is what ANTIFA is doing any different than terrorism?
Just over the past few months, ANTIFA has been the cause behind severe injuries to many, including a conservative journalist, at an extremely violent Portland protest, and incited a member to fire-bomb an ICE center before being gunned down by the police!
It’s time to take action against this left extremist organization, and President Trump is on board to get them labeled as terrorists!
Take a look at the president’s recent tweet calling for ANTIFA to be declared an enemy of America here:
The breaking news of the president's serious consideration of labeling ANTIFA a terrorist group is getting a lot of support on Twitter for those who are sick and tired of the collective's criminal activities against America!
Take a look at the action the president's consideration is getting on Twitter:
Fox News has more on Trump's consideration of labeling ANTIFA terrorists:
President Donald Trump said Saturday that he is considering declaring the far-left Antifa activist group a terrorist organization, equating it with the MS-13 street gang amid reports of members physically attacking conservative demonstrators and journalists at rallies across the country.
"Consideration is being given to declaring ANTIFA, the gutless Radical Left Wack Jobs who go around hitting (only non-fighters) people over the heads with baseball bats, a major Organization of Terror (along with MS-13 & others). Would make it easier for police to do their job!" Trump tweeted.
Trump's tweet came days after Sens. Bill Cassidy, R-La.,and Ted Cruz, R-Texas, introduced non-binding legislation that would designate the group as a domestic terrorist organization.
“Antifa are terrorists, violent masked bullies who ‘fight fascism’ with actual fascism, protected by Liberal privilege,” Cassidy said in a statement. “Bullies get their way until someone says no. Elected officials must have courage, not cowardice, to prevent terror.”
At a Senate hearing last week, Cruz asked FBI Director Christopher Wary if he could investigate Antifa under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. Wray responded that the bureau recognizes Antifa as more of an ideology than an organization.
He added the FBI takes seriously any violence on committed on behalf of ideology.
"We have a quite a number though, I should tell you, of properly predicated investigations of what we categorize as anarchist extremists," Wray told Cruz. "People who are trying to commit violent criminal activity that violates federal criminal law and some of those people do subscribe as what we would refer to as a kind of an antifa-like ideology,"
The Hill also said:
President Trump declared Saturday he is considering labeling the militant anti-fascist movement antifa a terrorist organization.
“Consideration is being given to declaring ANTIFA, the gutless Radical Left Wack Jobs who go around hitting (only non-fighters) people over the heads with baseball bats, a major Organization of Terror (along with MS-13 & others),” Trump tweeted Saturday. “Would make it easier for police to do their job!”

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 27, 2019The announcement is red meat to the president’s conservative base that has railed against what it sees as a growing liberal threat to its free speech led by antifa.
The anti-fascist movement has gained notoriety as supporters donning black costumes have engaged conservative activists in confrontations that have sometimes devolved into violent clashes.
Antifa most recently drew headlines after conservative journalist Andy Ngo was bloodied during a confrontation with militant protesters in Portland, Ore.
