Trump Officially Instructs DOJ to Classify Antifa as a Domestic Terrorist Organization

President Donald Trump signed an executive order late Tuesday night instructing the State Department to restrict visas to foreigners affiliated with Antifa and is calling on the Department of Justice to classify the anarchist organization as a domestic terrorist group.

"Reliable reporting suggests that the movement known as Antifa is directly or indirectly responsible for some of the recent lawlessness in our communities, and has exploited tragedies to advance a radical, leftist, anarchist, and often violent agenda. In fact, Antifa has long used otherwise permissible demonstrations to engage in lawless, criminal behavior to further its radical agenda," the order states. "The violence spurred on by Antifa -- such as hurling projectiles and incendiary devices at police, burning vehicles, and violently confronting police in defiance of local curfews -- is dangerous to human life and to the fabric of our Nation. These violent acts undermine the rights of peaceful protestors and destroy the lives, liberty, and property of the people of this Nation, especially those most vulnerable.

Slow rolled, stonewalled, never implemented until the next administration tells them to cancel that direction. You watch, that’s a guarantee.

Yes...

And the term “ years late and no excuse for delaying it from moment one” springs to mind.

I support Our President, but the delaying of this becoming an actionable effort did Nothing for him except emboldened the enemy.

Now they don’t give a rats azz what anyone says. They rule by fear.

“ It’s a little late, Mr. Trump. Hate to see you go.”

Who stopped him from doing this 2 years ago when he first tweeted he was going to do it?

His son in law? His AG? His FBI director? Lindsay Graham? Mitch McConnell? Someone else who also wasn’t elected as president?
