“Who sends out these directives? Media Matters?”
Media Matters is also in the mix, but Christopher Wray is the one who introduced this talking point during the 2020 campaign as cover for Antifa riots, abetted by accomplices at various media outlets:
Trump Antifa Terrorist Label Seen Distracting From Real Threats
June 02, 2020 01:30 PM
By Shaun Courtney
President Donald Trump‘s tweet that he would designate the group Antifa as a domestic terrorism organization is drawing criticism as unconstitutional and risking the diversion of resources from known terrorism threats.
“This can bleed resources from the true threats that exist,” Jason Blazakis, former director of the Counterterrorism Terrorism Finance and Designations Office at the State Department, said in an interview. “Those that may not be politically palatable to the president, like threats posed by far right and neo-Nazi organizations that certainly are operating in the United States.”. . .

FBI chief refutes claims Antifa was at Capitol riot
FBI Director Christopher Wray says he has not seen evidence to suggest leftists were part of the riot, knocking down baseless claims made by some GOP senators.

White House siege organizers on Thursday released new tactical briefings with an image of the White House in flames.
Marxist operatives, with the support of the Democrat party are burning and pillaging cities across the country. Stores are looted and government buildings are attacked on a weekly basis by far left terrorists.

They plan on starting the siege on September 17th, to continue for 50 days, until the election on November 3.
Leftists hope this will get them more votes for Biden.
