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.

They have no idea what fascism is. Nor do they realize how their attitudes toward dissenters is more like fascism than anything the right does.

The Left is so caught up in their own superiority that they can only imagine anyone who opposes them is not stupid, but actually evil.

What a cheap form of a type of cultural appropriation, equating the brave souls fighting tyranny to an organization that more resembles Jacobins than anything else.

And a lot of those original Antifa ended up becoming good Nazis.

A person who identifies as an Anti-Something, is always as bad or even worse than the “something”.

Really Brad? Your dad was Anti-First Amendment just like you?

So, a communist or fascist.

Your mom was spreading because she was evil or for money?

We’re living in the age of the book “1984” when lying Leftists label and call things the opposite of what they really are.

Anitfa has nothing to do with being anti-fascist. Antifa IS fascist.

To a Communist, anyone who isn’t Communist is a ‘Fascist’.

And notice, Communists never use the term “Nazi”, because it stands for “National Socialist”.

And most of the original Fascists, like Mussolini, started out as Bolsheviks.

"Antifa" was a militant arm of the German Communist Party in the early '30s and fought street battles with anyone differing with their politics. The only bullies who could out-bully them were the Nazis and that fighting is what caused the Nazi Party to gain ascendency in Germany.

WWII vets fought for our country and did so very bravely and nobly against the Nazis, the Fascist Italians, and the Japanese. They weren't "antifascists" - they were American fighting men defending our country and freeing the conquered nations.

P.S.: despite this guy's father's memory, the Germans didn't waste torpedoes on minesweepers. They're too small for torpedoes and usually attacked using the U-Boats very effective deck gun.
