Bradley Whitford says father fighting in WWII with fascism on the rise was 'Antifa'
Fox News ^ | 10/15/25 | Hanna Panreck

Actor Bradley Whitford joined the co-hosts of "The View" on Wednesday and said his father, who fought in World War II while fascism was on the rise, was "Antifa," agreeing with co-host Joy Behar.

"I am living in a world where we have internment camps, where, in my community, people are jumping out of vans, and people going through a legal asylum process are being taken away without charges. And the thing that’s very upsetting to me right now, and we’re giving these internment camps funny names. Like, there's some fun to be had in the inhumanity of it all. It’s a very strange time for me," Whitford said.

Behar agreed and called the situation "a disgrace."

"It’s a disgrace. My dad, I’ve been thinking about my dad a lot. He died a long time ago. He would be over 100 years old, 110. He fought in World War II when fascism was on the rise. He was on a minesweeper with torpedoes coming at him," he said.

So... His father was part of the Bolshevik revolutionaries?

Here’s an idea, how about we send some of “His people” to HIS house and he can board them let them take care of HIS kids, especially the child rapists and murderers, I bet they can have plenty of fun with his wife and kids

He once played a White House aide on TV in The West Wing, so that makes him an expert on politics.

Lawrence O'Donnell (Whacko-MSNBC) and Pat Caddell (Democrat pollster) were story editors and producers in the first two seasons of the show when the characters were being fleshed out.

This is commonly seen all over Reddit. People hauling out their pictures of Grandpa/Great-grandpa and claiming that they were “antifascists”.

He wasn't Anfifa you moron, he was fighting for this nation. Antifa is not fighting for this nation. It wasnts to destroy this nation.

Also,just because they are asking for asylum doesn't mean they qualify for asylum. Besides that, they must request asylum before they enter this nation, you ignorant pustule.

These fools don’t know history.

Antifa was originally a socialist group that was fighting the Fascist regimes in Italy and Germany…in favor of the red socialists. Neither side was interested in capitalists or “democracy” outside of the definition within the communist manifesto.

I cannot believe people are this stupid.

Or they do know history, but know how many people don’t know history, and exploit it for their own gain.

You never know.

Bradley is historically illiterate. Klantifa are a bunch of communist street thugs who cover their faces so they can commit crimes with impunity. They are not remotely comparable to allied soldiers who served their countries in uniform.

This guy is an idiot. If he’s comparing Nazis herding innocent people into cattle cars to ICE Agents rounding up illegals and putting them in vans, he’s failing miserably. The Nazis pulled people from their homes and homelands, confiscated their homes, their personal property, and their bank accounts, sent them to concentration camps where they were either worked to death, or killed outright. ICE Agents are not pulling illegals from their homelands. They are returning them to their homelands. They broke the law to come here, stepping on the backs of their own countrymen waiting in line to come here legally. They are criminals, nothing more.

I seem to recall during WWII we were putting American citizens of Japanese descent into concentration camps, did Bradley overlook that little detail?

He does not look familiar...at all. He looks like an aged Drew Carey.

yeah who?....I imagine I might have seen him in some movie or tv show maybe 10 or 20 years ago but he’s a complete unknown to me. Pretty much anyone with a career in show biz that began in the last 10 years or so is the same.

The central dogma of Antifa is communism. WWII vets would shoot any antifa commie, on sight. Antifa’s view is that if you’re anti-commie, you’re a fascist; if you’re a capitalist, you’re a fascist; if you identify as a patriot, you’re a fascist; if you believe violent criminals should be locked up, you’re a fascist. It just goes on and on.
