Members of the Antifa movement have physically assaulted and beaten conservatives for nearly a decade, but apparently, it’s wrong to be angry about it. CNN anchor Erin Burnett stepped in it when she tried to downplay Antifa’s long history of violence on Wednesday.
Burnett played a clip of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem saying, “This network of Antifa is just as sophisticated as MS-13, as TDA, as ICIS, as Hezbollah, as Hamas, as all of them. They are just as dangerous.”
“That's pretty incredible, right?” Burnett quipped. “Hamas has just been engaged in a two-year war that we just announced the first stage of a peace plan to a few moments ago. And ISIS? These are incredible things to say.”
The anchor went on to state that she is “not going to sit here and defend anybody who considers themselves part of an Antifa movement such that it is” but noted that “Antifa is far from a major sophisticated terror organization like Hezbollah, Hamas, or ISIS.”
“In fact, it's not even like far-right groups like the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, which have had national leaders unlike Antifa,” Burnett continued. “There is no organized hierarchy to the group. And according to the Center for Strategic and International Studies, compared to right-wing extremists, Antifa linked violences extremists, Antifa-linked violence is rare and limited.”
What is ironic is that Burnett quotes the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) to make it appear that the right is more violent than the left. Yet, the same organization recently acknowledged that leftist violence has surpassed the right this year, according to Axios.
While it is true that Antifa is not as deadly as ISIS, Hamas, and other terrorist groups (yet), the notion that people should not be concerned about it makes no sense when you consider the acts Antifa adherents have carried out over the past decade.
In Portland, Oregon, Antifa-aligned thugs have not only been clashing with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents, they have also bullied and assaulted city residents going about their everyday lives. Some residents told BBC that Antifa thugs have entered apartment buildings and confronted them in hallways and on the streets.
Back in 2020, an Antifa operative shot and killed a right-wing activist in Portland. He was later killed by police who were trying to arrest him.
During the 2016 campaign season, there were always video clips circulating on social media showing black-clad Antifa thugs harassing and physically assaulting people at Trump rallies.
Antifa claims they are resorting to violence to stop the spread of fascism in America. Unfortunately, when one believes everyone to the right of Bernie Sanders is a fascist, this shows that “antifascism” isn’t the real goal here.

OK then I suppose they can come over and stay at his place, right?
yep, and when the proud boys tried to organize themselves to DEFEND themselves against ANTIFA and other leftist groups attacking them... Biden hit them with RICO charges!
Everyone knows that when Antifa rapes and kills you, you are not as raped or dead as when Hamas or ISIS rapes and kills you.
Which means they are like Hamas or ISIS.
On one side we have:
Hezbollah, Hamas, MS13, Antifa, BLM, all funded via Left wing groups (Communist, Fascists, and semi-communists) via NGO’s and CHINA. None of these groups seems like a ‘threat’ to CNN. All of these groups have murdered people and done huge amounts of damage.
On the otherside:
We have Proud boys, Oath Keepers, and Catholics. Who, to my knowledge have killed no one and have very little property damage.
CNN doesn’t seem them as a threat. Which of these Categories did Biden and the Democrats place all of the resources of the DOJ and FBI on?
ROFLOL.
I’m waiting for leftists to end abortion because it’s a waste of future bomb components.
And yes, I apologize for that comment, but I don’t think it’s far off.
THE LEFT IS AMERICA’S HAMAS
(Oh, to the whiny Gaza supporters that is what your cuddle puppies did and you are not only ok with it but, cheer it on. )
Yeah they are.
They use violence to intimidate and control and push their agenda.
Creepy leftist:
“Antifa-linked violence is rare and limited.”
Lol.
A lengthy visit to Portland OR will end that delusion.
Antifa and violence go together like a horse and carriage.
And erin gets a pay check for spewing this garbage. Many News people don’t have to be accurate any more. They just need the right associates.
“CNN Anchor Shrugs Off Antifa Violence Because They Are ‘Not Like Hamas or ISIS’”
Hey stupid. Give them a little more time and then sing your song to the congregation.
>>”CNN Anchor Shrugs Off Antifa Violence Because They Are ‘Not Like Hamas or ISIS’”
My guess is she’s been shrugging off Hamas’s violence for years.
I knew it would be a female at CNN.
GOD GIVE LOOKS/BRAINS/ OR WEALTH
SHE MISSED ALL 3.
