‘The Daily Show’s’ Trevor Noah Rails Against Antifa: They Are ‘Vegan ISIS’

Someone high up sent a memo recently to jettison Antifa for some reason. There's no other explanation.

[WMarshal]

The Democrat’s internal polling must be scaring the crap out of them.

[Bullish]

The orders have gone out from the top. Quit sticking up for antifa so we have a chance in 2018.

Everyone’s falling in line now... It’s so obvious.

[Tzimisce]

So he back the Antifa.

He just doesn’t like their methods.

[lee martell]

At this rate even the RINOs like Paul Ryan and McCain will stop defending Antifa as soon as December of 2018!

[doorgunner69]

Just as when it seemed some live target practice might come up? Those “redneck” antifa types sounded promising.

The Dems are disavowing Antifa because their internal polls show the American people hate it. Supporting masked, black clothed thugs carrying clubs is a political loser.

I also suspect that DOJ is doing a major investigation of Antifa that will shock the public. There is a lot going on behind the scenes that will become public in the near future. The Dems are aware of what is happening and are now trying to distance themselves from many of the crises they manufactured.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

The Democrats spawned it, fed it, nurtured it and now they are losing control of it. They know they have created a monster.

[Greetings_Puny_Humans]

Pretty much confirmed at this point that the orders went out from on high to throw ANTIFA under the bus.

I also suspect that DOJ is doing a major investigation of Antifa that will shock the public.

No chance it's happening.

[2ndDivisionVet]

That’s how I take it too. “Why can’t you guys get a $30,000 a day job making fun of Trump like I’ve got?”

[2ndDivisionVet]

I’ll bet they somehow think they’re going to get the white working class back for Hillary’s next run.

[OrioleFan]

Antifa is a Democrat Party jobs program.

[kabar]

The DOJ and FBI went into Charlottesville the day after the incident to conduct an investigation. There have been arrests made in Portland and Berkeley of Antifa members as well as those who participated in the inauguration protests. The disavowing of Antifa by the Berkeley mayor, Pelosi, Ryan, etc. are sure indicators that the hammer is about to fall.

Hear me now, believe me later.

[SpaceBar]

The left, like Dr. Frankenstein, neglected to install an off-switch.

At first, I thought it was because antifa was turning off democrat constituencies. I kind of think it is actually more likely that the wealthy libs are seeing their kids mask up and realizing that those Blackshirted morons have an appeal, and they are going to draw my tender hearted kid in with them

[Billthedrill]

Oh, yeah. What is at stake isn't actually Antifa at all, although they've become poster children for an out-of-control Left. The problem here is that scrutiny it draws might reveal that the entire White Supremacy "movement" is a creation of fiction, and worse, who is doing the creating. That is a very expensive campaign with close coordination with the media an integral part, and the people making that investment don't want the thing blown by a bunch of bomb-throwing idiots.

Linking Trump, or at least Trump supporters, with neo-Nazi extremists is apparently the strategy du jour, crude as it is. It won't sway the base on either side but the hope is that it will sway the less committed. If that is blown with a year left to the '18 elections, the Dems have...nothing. They've bet the ranch on anti-Trump, and it has to work, because if it doesn't there's nothing left to fall back on.

So yes, Antifa is now being shoved under the bus. But I don't think they'll go willingly. And they do have a certain media outlet all their own. The question is how far they can go given the withdrawal of the well-funded professional agitators and media sympathizers who have been so very helpful to them. We're watching that withdrawal.

[Chaguito]

Exactly my first reaction. It’s as if the new talking points against the mensheviks came from bolshevik headquarters. Or vice versa.;

[Architect of Avalon]

Apparently Antifa’s violence is distracting from the media’s war against Trump.
