President Donald Trump took to Twitter on Saturday night to say he supports labeling Antifa a terrorist organization.
Consideration is being given to declaring ANTIFA, the gutless Radical Left Wack Jobs who go around hitting (only non-fighters) people over the heads with baseball bats, a major Organization of Terror (along with MS-13 & others). Would make it easier for police to do their job!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) July 27, 2019
Conservatives applauded Trump's decision.
YES MR PRESIDENT— Jack Posobiec (@JackPosobiec) July 27, 2019
About time.— Tim Young (@TimRunsHisMouth) July 27, 2019
HELL YEAH!!!!!!!— Ian Miles Cheong (@stillgray) July 27, 2019
The declaration appears to come after conservative journalist Andy Ngo appeared on Fox News to discuss the Antifa attack he sustained last month. Ngo was beaten, had "milkshakes" filled with cement mixers thrown at him and his GoPro camera was stolen. He suffered a brain injury as a result of the beating.
Earlier this month, Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Bill Cassidy (R-LA) introduced legislation that would label Antifa a terrorist organization. Cruz and Cassidy's resolution was in direct response to Antifa's attacks on Ngo in Portland last month.
Last year, the Washington, D.C. chapter of Antifa, known as Smash Racism, harassed Cruz and his wife while they were dining at a public restaurant. They posted a tweet saying he wasn't safe, The Daily Caller reported.
“No — you can’t eat in peace — your politics are an attack on all of us You’re [sic] votes are a death wish. Your votes are hate crimes,” Smash Racism DC wrote. “Tonight Senator Ted Cruz arrived at Fiola, an upscale restaurant mere steps from the White House, to enjoy a hearty Italian dinner. He could have dined on a lavish four course meal for only $145 while millions of Americans struggle to buy groceries. He might have sampled from the top shelf wine list as migrant children languish in cages.”

Trump is the only man left in Washington we can trust.
He is the only one interested in protecting ordinary Americans
Excellent...
Past time to keep talking/threatening to do it!
Do it!
This has been done officially by DOD about 1 year ago. He is now pushing the civilian side to catch up with them.
What’s the purpose of this announcement? Why doesn’t he just do it? For that matter why wasn’t it done a long time ago?
I agree. All he needs to do is call AG Barr.
MASKS OFF
EXPOSE THE COWARDS
WHO FUNDS THEM
Federal Indictments, all
JAIL THEM
And SUE THE BASTARDS
The PERPS
The POLS who PROTECT THEM, Including the POLICE
and the FINANCIERS
EXPOSED!!
Did I miss it or did someone out the backers of Antifa?
The vague term “Soros” may not be enough. Wasn’t there talk of some front organization with a peace-loving phony name?
Probably some links to money laundering Dems or Clinton people.
That’s how other terrorist organizations come under the spotlight and that hurts the political backers, too.
FBI Director Chris Wray says it’s not an organization so much as an ideology.
Even if the DOJ were to list them, local cops would still ignore what they do, same as illegal aliens in sanctuary cities.
MASKS SHOULD BE OUTLAWED...except at Halloween.
Wray is a SMIRKING MONKEY DEMOCRAT!
...again.
And let’s look at identifying who removed them from that list.
It’s not as though there is a single backer. They’ve been around ninety years or so.
Just allow lethal force against anyone wearing a mask in public. Solved.
First, label the DNC as a terrorist organization.
Good Luck with this.
Antifa is a deliberately knit with no titular organization. It’s a distributed terrorist cell. The only way to take it down is to dismantle the university education system that generates their membership.
Praise God for the obvious. Obviously.
Yes, I agree.
