EXCLUSIVE: TRUMP WARNS ANTIFA — YOU COULD BE IN BIG TROUBLE
The Daily Caller ^ | 3:39 PM 11/14/2018 | Saagar Enjeti and Benny Johnson

President Donald Trump warned violent leftists and Antifa members that an opposition to them may “mobilize,” and it would mean “big trouble” for the leftist group.

“They better hope that the opposition to Antifa decides not to mobilize,” the president told The Daily Caller in an exclusive Oval Office interview Wednesday.

“These people, like the Antifa — they better hope that the opposition to Antifa decides not to mobilize. Because if they do, they’re much tougher. Much stronger. Potentially much more violent. And Antifa’s going to be in big trouble. But so far they haven’t done that and that’s a good thing,” he continued.

Trump was asked by The Daily Caller about the recent wave of political violence during his administration, beginning with violent Antifa riots on his inauguration day.

When asked specifically about the recent mob outside of Fox News host Tucker Carlson’s house, the president said, “I spoke to Tucker — I think Tucker’s a great guy — and I think it’s terrible. They were actually trying to break down [Tucker’s] door.”

The mob gathered at Carlson’s house last week and left-wing agitators vandalized the home and cracked the front door while chanting, “Tucker Carlson, we will fight. We know where you sleep at night!” and “You are not safe.”

Tucker’s wife was the only person it the Carlson family home that night and called 911 after locking herself in the kitchen pantry. The police are investigating the incident as a politically motivated hate crime.

Tucker Carlson is the co-founder of The Daily Caller.

The police didn’t arrive until after they were gone?

I am sure they will get right on that immediately after they finish dealing with the caravan at the border

I’ve been saying the same for some time... the only thing protecting the Left from death squads is the very Rule of Law they are hell bent on destroying. In a contest of force the hoplophobe vegan community is at a distinct disadvantage.

Time for warning is over. Declare them a domestic terrorist organization. Arrest them on sight. Arrest the people that fund them. Build a prison in ANWR and ship them all there.

Or at the very least declare open season on anyone wearing a mask while participating in a violent political “protest.”

No daily or possession limit.

DC version of Sessions is leading the investigation.

I do not normally criticize the President’s tweets. But in this case, I think he has said the wrong thing.

First, he seems to be referring to “us” as the ones who would rise to oppose Antifa and meet them with violence. But it isn’t and shouldn’t be our job. That is the job of law enforcement.

Second, if one, or several, of “us” were to violently oppose Antifa, which they certainly deserve, the opponents of the President would point to this tweet as proof that he had incited violence.

While one could construe the message as merely pointing out that Antifa was outgunned, which is certainly the truth, the left is more that happy to conclude that the President is fomenting violence.

The media and leftists do not deserve such an argument.

What the hell is this talk for, President Trump?

You head the Justice Department, Antifa is clearly a nationwide organization engaging in assault and terrorism, there are laws against that, GET TO WORK!!!

Sometimes he really makes me shake my head.

That’s as close to a Warning Order as Patriots will receive.

You realize he’s trolling the Dems, right?

Saying the same things Cory and Maxine said.
