Really Chuck? MSNBC’s Todd Aids in Promotion of Antifa Violence

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.

Okay, what does he say about those states that have declared them a terrorist organization? And what about when the US government eventually does so as well?

If you read their signs and listen to their rhetoric it's clear that antifa is marxist and anti-capitalist.

There is an absolute equivalence between those two losers, nazis/marxists, and not one bit of morality to be found between them.

LOL! No doubt. I saw some pics of their signs yesterday and at the bottom proudly on display was “Workers Party”. Yeah, THAT ‘workers party’ aligned with CPUSA.

I would not be at all surprised if CNN, MSNBC, and other outlets, started requiring their talking heads to appear dressed in black, masked, and helmeted, so show their solidarity with AntiFa.
