MSNBC’s Chris Matthews Calls Out Antifa Violence
Gateway Pundit ^ | August 17,2017 | Cristina Laila

Posted on 08/17/2017 12:18:24 PM PDT by Hojczyk

MSNBC’s ultra liberal Chris Matthews actually called out Antifa violence and questioned who they are what it is that they stand for exactly (finally).

Lecia Brooks, of the Southern Poverty Law Center fought back claiming masked Antifa members “take a principled stand to stand against white supremacists wherever they may show up.” What she really means is that if you are a Trump supporter, you are a white supremacist.

“I know their name is anti-fascist. Do they only go after fascists or anybody, say, in the global economic community they don’t like? Matthews began.

“No. They are strictly anti-fascists. They have taken a principled stand to stand against white supremacists wherever they may show up,” Brooks responded.

“Well, who were waving the clubs on that side? There was one group that was jumping in and punching the Nazi-types,” Matthews said.

Chris Matthews then questioned who Antifa is and how they define fascism, “I first heard somebody refer to a fascist as anyone working in the administration at the time, anyone working for Johnson, anyone working in the government. Any business person was a fascist. How loose of a term is that for the Antifa people?”

Chris Matthews brought up Antifa’s violent past, “So Antifa doesn’t engage in Occupy-type behavior against global meetings, for example, business leaders? They don’t go after institutions that are not fascist?”

Of course Brooks from SPLC avoided the question.

Good grief.

When Chrissy Matthews awakens from a drunken stupor and notices that Antifa is a violent leftwing hate group the Second Coming must be imminent.

Gee, imagine that. The “unbiased” SPLC somehow finds the Alt Left as incapable of fomenting hatred and violence

Hey Timmy Cook...do you agree ? What’s your take on Antifa?

Interesting.An acknowledgment that there was no shortage of scumbags on *either* side of the barricades.

Just as the President so clearly pointed out the other day.

ANTIFA, the Democrats, had won in Charlottesville.

The scheduled rally was cancelled.

When a baseball team wins, do they take their bats and go over and brain the other team?

When a lawyer wins a case, does she go over and attack the other lawyer?

Well, cancelling the rally wasn’t enough.

The Democrats had to go and split some heads.

Seems kind of intolerant on their part.

The media weapon which they have turned against Trump has had a hiccup. Mathews must not have gotten the notice that they weren't supposed to mention the violent left wing hate groups that started all of the violence.

Antifa ARE the fascists. They just call anyone they disagree with “fascists”.

Two words they use as a form of projection against others:
1. Bigot
2. Fascist

Hint: If you refuse to listen to anything the other side has to say, you are a bigot.
Hint #2. If you support any kind of minimum wage, you are a fascist.

He’s still a socialist-democrat MSM propaganda lackey.

AntiFa openly admits to and prides itself on violence.

Chris Matthews is going to get taken to the woodshed. He’s going to get called a Nazi and a white supremacist.

Matthews works for MSNBC, which is owned by NBCUniversal News Group, a unit of the NBCUniversal Television Group division of NBCUniversal, all of which are owned by Comcast. Comcast is in a private / public relationship with many city and state governments; which makes it “corporatist” or *ahem* fascist (at least in the classic meaning of the word).

The suits in corporate just wanted to check to see if they were on Antifa’s hit list; and with Antifa, a “hit list” is not just a euphemism.
