President Trump drew tremendous criticism from the liberal media when he noted that there was violence in Charlottesville, Virginia “on all side.” But despite its own hammering of the President, MSNBC brought on a staunch supporter of Antifa during MTP Daily to champion their violent approach to stopping opponents, as they displayed in Charlottesville. Host Chuck Todd, a self-proclaimed political referee, offered little to no push back against his violently radical guest.
The MSNBC host welcomed his guest with open arms, asking: “Mark Bray, you are writing this book Antifa, the Anti-Fascist Handbook. Explain this movement and its roots.”
“So anti-fascism goes back to the beginning of the 20th century when leftists of all stripes fought back against Mussolini and Hitler,” Dartmouth “lecturer” Mark Bray claimed. “The main perspective of Antifa is essentially that rather than simply waiting for the threat to materialize, you stop it from the beginning.” He even admitted that what they did in Charlottesville was try to deny a platform.
After confirming that Bray followed the radical beliefs of Antifa, Todd’s next question wasn’t about the legality or morality of using violence to shut down free speech. It was concerning Antifa making the neo-Nazi’s look good. “What do you say to those that are concerned that: ‘Hey, you're handing -- you're allowing this -- these white supremacists to claim victim hood here,’” Todd probed. “What do you say to that criticism since the President is trying to essentially create a false equivalency here?”
Chuck Todd never questioned his guest’s romanticized explanation about what Antifa stood for or their own anti-semitic streak. He failed to do his due diligence and mention that Antifa promoted communism, a bloody ideology responsible for the deaths of roughly 100 million people.

NON print version if you must see the smarmy faces:
The Democrat supported violent Antifa? That Antifa?
We keep hoping journalists are fair and balanced, they are neither, they are liberal activists.
No silly. The OTHER antifa. You know, the peaceful ones that hand out flowers and cupcakes. Just like the OTHER ‘bamn’ group with their pillows to be handed out at “gatherings”.
F Chuck Todd needs to receive an atomic wedgie and be hung up on his school locker door.
thanks for posting the link
I initially gave up on ‘journalists’ when wally concrete ended the VN war for us and have gone steadily down hill ever since. NEVER trust any reporter with any information.
Charlottesville made it pretty obvious that the MSM supports Antifa.
I would ask the guy “Is violence warranted against people you believe are fascist?”
No problem. Hopefully more will be able to appreciate the devious nature of these deceivers. I’d like to get more folks turned on the FR but it seems like a lot are TOO BUSY. They may wake up eventully before it’s too late.
“So anti-fascism goes back to the beginning of the 20th century when leftists of all stripes fought back against Mussolini and Hitler,”
No doubt it would be a resounding YES. I saw a pic the other day of some idiot standing with his right arm raised in a hitlarian salute. Next pic is of someone tagging him with a right hook. Uh, they’re not okay with the salute but are just fine with the right hook? The point of the two pic was for the antifa types to be careful and use proper technique when punching folks to they don’t break their wrist.
Hey Chuck, if you attack my vehicle with a club like the dead girl in Charlottesville, you may get squished too.
What is comical is that the antifa are actually the fascists.
LOL! To them, facts? Meh.
Shhhhhhhh. We’re not supposed to see that.
Wasn't this the pretext under which the US invaded Iraq...you know, that little war that the left thought was immoral?
I'm not saying the Iraq invasion was copacetic, I am just pointing out another lie.
Has this jackwagon set up patrols of drug-infested neighborhoods, to stop dealers from wrecking families "from the beginning"? I doubt it. This guy doesn't have a moral compass. He wants power over those he hates, at all cost.
“What is comical is that the antifa are actually the fascists.”
AND anti-first amendment (antifa)
Stupid racist pigs.
