President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that he would be designating the radical far-left group Antifa as a terrorist organization.
“I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
The announcement comes one week after conservative titan Charlie Kirk was assassinated by an alleged left-winger radicalized by transgender ideology who engraved the bullet casings with slogans like, “Hey fascist! Catch!” As Kyle Shideler wrote in these pages, this phrase, along with arrow imagery and the Italian partisan song “Bella ciao,” are apparently associated with Helldivers, a video game that has a satirical fascist government.
Rather than grapple with the suspected assassin’s clear ideological motivations, many on the left have seized on the gaming reference to argue that the attack had no political ties at all. Yet, as Shideler pointed out, “actual Antifa and anarchist accounts seem to claim the shooter as one of their own.” Shideler noted that a Pittsburgh-based anarchist account that “specializes in distributing Antifa and anarchist propaganda … mocked those claiming the attack had been done by a member of the far-right,” and later responded to a post about Kirk’s assassination with lyrics from “Bella Ciao” — a famous antifascist song. A group of protesters in New York City disrupted a vigil for Kirk by singing the song as well.
“Clearly, ‘anti-fascists’ saw and understood the reference as an ideological endorsement,” Shideler wrote.
Antifa’s violent history has been well documented and has long demanded attention and accountability. An alleged...

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Good
About time the DOJ got back to work on these leftist dirt bags.
Fine by me.
When they were threatening and carrying out terrorist acts on the west coast, I was wondering how they got away with it. Of course, they were also champions of the Democrats then too. I guess that’s why.
Now about half of the elected officials in Portland and Seattle will be arrested.

Dispicable
Bravo👏👏👏
But they say they don’t exist!

If the FBI could SWAT raid Trump at Mar a Lago then President Trump should be able to just do massive drone strikes on ANTIFA leaders and events. Maybe President Trump could donate free phones and pagers to ANTIFA.
But they are democrat party foot soldiers. Place your bets on which Obama judge issues a “temporary injunction” about declaring a terrorist group a terrorist group. I place my money on Marco A. Hernandez who assumed “senior” status this year.
No lawyer here. But this move , while positive, may not have a huge impact on ANTIFA.
According to a google search that designation mostly brings in financial consequences. Like seizure of assets, international effects etc.
Not going to effect them much when 50% live in their parents basements and 30% are homeless🫢
“Now about half of the elected officials in Portland and Seattle will be arrested.”
Do you have a time frame for your prediction?
I ask because we’ve seen this over and over. There’s an investigation or lawsuit or some such that’s touted as the route to huge impacts. Then nothing happens. It gets discouraging.
Satans most powerful lie: "I don't exist"
Amen. These are squirmy vipers.
It’s what MAGA is all about weeding out the communists.
