One thing has become abundantly clear in the wake of Sunday’s violent ‘antifa’ rampage: the liberal Democrats who run Berkeley have happily let their town be occupied by an enemy state. Enemy state in that ‘antifa’ fascists are against all the freedoms that true Americans hold dear.
The problem is that liberal Democrats don’t see ‘antifa’ as the enemy because ‘antifa’ has become the de facto militant wing of the Democrat party. Those be-masked cowards using their “Peace” and “Love” signs to beat others? They’re Nancy Pelosi’s henchmen and henchwoman (let’s not leave out those lovely ladies who happily cover their faces, chant foul-mouthed slogans, and beat the crap out of their political opponents).
How do we know this? Because Nancy Pelosi and Jerry Brown and any number of leaders of the Democrat Party have failed to denounce the terrorist actions of ‘antifa.’ And there has been ample opportunity for them to do so.
Their silence speaks volumes.
And where is the media clamoring to hold Democrat politicians accountable for the actions of the ‘antifa’ fascists? They sure have been all over Republicans to denounce white supremacists even though there is far less a connection between the GOP and the KKK (see: Robert Byrd) than there is ‘antifa’ and the Dems. Spoiler alert: the mainstream media is the communications arm of the Democrat party.
All of this was discussed last night on Tucker Carlson Tonight. Tucker’s guest was Joey Gibson, whose Patriot Prayer group was the latest catalyst for the ‘antifa’ to silence free speech and beat people to a pulp. Patriot Prayer was scheduled to hold a peaceful free speech rally in Berkeley on Sunday, but were forced to cancel when threats by ‘antifa’ made it clear that people were going to get hurt.
Stifling the free speech and right to assemble of the Patriot Prayer group wasn’t enough for ‘antifa’ – they showed up anyway with their cowardly faces covered and the intention of hurting others.
Joey Gibson also showed up, knowing that there was a chance he’d be attacked. And attacked he was, while Berkeley police stood by and watched it happen (video footage below). The violence against him only stopped when the police put GIBSON into handcuffs and carted him off.
According to Gibson, Berkeley police were told not to intervene at the direction of the Democrat leaders of Berkeley. To recap, bad guys okay to do as they please, good guys must stand by and watch. It’s hard to deny that Democrats and ‘antifa’ are fast becoming one and the same.
Or, as Tucker rightly put it:
“This is a political militia that is doing the bidding, in effect, of Nancy Pelosi and Governor Jerry Brown and the mayor of Berkeley and all these supposedly mainstream Democratic politicians, and this is a militia hurting American citizens for saying what they think.”
McCain, Romney, and Rubio Join the Republicans for Antifa Club(Breitbart, 16 August 2017)
Antifa is the Brown Shirts of the Democrat Party.
Pelosi condemns them after McCain, Romney and Rubio praises them.
Antifa thugs are paid, coordinated, protected from police by elected leftist officials and are systematically violating the civil rights of those who they oppose. in short it is a criminal conspiracy to violate civil rights such as free speech, assembly and public redress of grievances.If Session were doing his job and if the FBI were willing ( since it appears this once proud agency after eight years of Obama commissar control is mired in the swamp) the thugs should be arrested for violating rights with felonious assaults, the police commander on the scene should be arrested for ordering his officers not to intervene and the public officials who gave the orders to stand down and finally arrest those who are financing the thugs. Unless this is done, it will only get worse.

ANTIFA - The new and improved SturmAbteilung ...
Formerly, the KKK was the armed wing of the Democratic Party in the South, and the AFL-CIO in the north.
Their target have changed somewhat but they have basically traded their white hoods for black mask.
The goal to tear down and intimidate is always the same.
Antifa is the new KKK, the action arm of the LSM/Rat Party promoting the “Values” of the Party.
Maybe a more catchy name, like antifa klan. Something derogatory repeated endlessly whenever they are mentioned. Remember when Pelosi couldn’t say “Bush” without adding “tax cuts for the rich”. These people are fairly simple minded for the most part. A mantra, slogan, catchy phrase will work on them. “We will not stand for antifa klan!” When they yell “bash the fash”, yell back “ban the klan”. They are after all, hateful white, democrats, wearing hoods, and causing trouble. They are the klan.
Antifa is the reconstituted Weather Underground, with unlimited Soros funding. Most have committed criminal acts and should be arrested. We need some Police Depts who haven’t been neutered by the Democrats!
AntifaHitlers
Can you imagine what would happen if peaceful anti-Trump protestors were attacked by pro-Trump militants wearing black and clubbing and setting fire to the protestors? Not a peep from the evil Democrat Party against the outrageous, illegal conduct of Antifa, while police officers shamefully stand and watch the attacks on the order of Democrat mayors across the country.
I repeat, it may be true that at one time the Media was the propaganda arm of the Democrat Party
The Reality now is-
The Democrat Party is simply the political arm of the Media. Antifa is violent enforcement arm of the Media.
Absolute proof of the above is simple and obvious-
[neither the Democrat Party or Atifa could survive without the full support(lies, half truths distortions,editorializing, etc) of the Media. Without the Newspapers and Network News operations, the Democrat party would not even receive 40% of the vote, because the strong majority of Americans disagree with the leftist agenda, without the lies of the media that majority would vote the Democrats out of office] so the media could easily destroy the Democratic party and its minions. The Democrat Party is dependent on the Media, it does not control the media.
A FReeper on another thread coined Nu Klux Klan...
Maybe someone should tell Romney and Cohn.
You forgot that they wear masks to cover their faces to make it harder to identify them for prosecution of their crimes which they display on camera.
Imagine if Trump supporters did this.
Where is the concerned media on quizzing Romney, Rubio and McCain, all three are Antifa defenders, on this?
