As Trump’s smearing of protesters gets worse, Adam Schiff raises a red flag ('delegitimize peaceful protests')
Washington Post (democracy dies with democrats) ^ | 6/01/20 | Greg Sargent, Paul Waldman

As protests against police brutality spread across the country, President Trump looked impotent, unable to offer anything reassuring and tweeting angrily from inside a White House under siege.

But Trump has hit on a solution: designate “antifa” a terrorist organization, to make it look as if the protests have been taken over by radical terrorists, and to create the impression that he’s getting fearsomely tough in response.

In an interview with us, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) told us that the designation itself, which has no legal basis, appears to be a “characteristically political act."

Schiff, the chair of the House Intelligence Committee, also said that if this particular designation were to translate into meaningful policy actions by the administration, numerous House Democratic committees would scrutinize both the initial designation and the policies flowing from it.

By all means Schiff, side with terrorists who are burning down businesses and churches. That will increase Dem popularity in the November election.

OMG! Schiff and the WP. The combined IQ in that interview was 15 and that’s giving them 10 points.
