Tucker: Antifa has support of ‘respectable Left’ amid calls for ‘direct action’ following ICE attack
The National Sentinel ^ | 7/16/19 | Jon Dougherty

Posted on 07/16/2019 6:45:15 AM PDT by SleeperCatcher

On his Monday night program, Fox News’ Tucker Carlson discussed the recent attack by an armed Antifa supporter against an ICE detention facility in Tacoma, Wash., noting that members of the group now have the support of the “respectable Left” in America as elements call for more “direct action” against “fascist” government facilities.

Willem Van Spronsen, 68, allegedly released a manifesto stating “I am Anfita” before taking an AR-15 with him on Saturday to firebomb the facility, which he believed was a “concentration camp.” The attack was celebrated by many on the left and Spronsen was hailed as a hero on social media.

As many have noted including Carlson, the so-called “mainstream” media has essentially ignored the story. The Seattle Times and local news affiliates covered the attack but it didn’t make the national news feeds — and it should have because it was clearly an act of domestic terrorism.

I fear that Antifa will be rioting in the streets and committing acts of terrorism in the likelihood of Trumps re-election. I expect tbey will be lavishly paid, trained and equipped by zSoros and otber left wing groups and have the full support of the lame stream media

Early signs of a violent civil war that’s fermenting.

If this Van Spronsen is being touted as a martyr, then I guess Antifa now has their own Horst Wessel.

I can see it now: The Van Spronsen Brigade as part of the left’s ranks when the balloon finally goes up.

~~~
No such thing.

That’s the problem, isn’t it?
The idiot masses (many of whom are really normally rather intelligent people) have been in the slow boiling pot of a decades long slow march to the left by the main stream media, and the most cunning part of it is not the propaganda that they promote, but the stories and the facts that the consistently omit.

We are now to the point where the media that most people tend to rely on as trustworthy and neutral are actively in the camp of radical leftist and hate mongers

They’ll inherit the Earth, alright. In 2-1/2 x 8 foot sections.

I would say, "ignorant masses"... otherwise you are spot on.

And Antifa will be very vocal, proclaiming the riots and terrorist attacks if Trump is re-elected. They will try to intimidate the ‘regular folks’ in this country to vote Dem to avoid the coming Troubles..

WE HAD BETTER BE PREPARED.

“Can you believe this..? “

This is a good thing. They are delusional and this makes them over confident. They just haven’t met any real hard-asses yet and I’m not talking about Proud Boys. They’ve actually been protected by the police everywhere they go which creates a false sense of security.

It’s time to start regarding CNN as the equivalent of the Al-Qaeda press agency.

You are right. I contradicted myself. idiot/intelligent

They are willingly ignorant. They don’t actually want to know, or be told by their media sources, those things that make them uncomfortable. Many of them are single issue voters (you know the issue of which I allude) who adopt all of the other policy propaganda that aligns with the side because they just don’t want to think that the politicians who champion that one cause for them can be wrong on other issues, so they compromise and sacrifice beliefs that they otherwise would have held. Willingly ignorant for the cause. Even willing to subscribe to hate and violence, because the propagandists portray it as justice.

I can believe it. Think about it: the only way a straight white man can get any respect from today’s left is to martyr themselves for the cause.

This isn’t that hard to understand. Antifa is the militant and armed wing of the democrat party. Most dems are NOT antifa members... but most dems ARE antifa sympathizers in private.

Don’t think for one second Antifa doesn’t have massive support. They are carrying out what ever lefty secretly wished he/she could do... violently attack people who think differently than they do
