Who are the antifa? President Trump equated them with white supremacists. Here's why he’s wrong.

Exactly, they are neither Nazis or Fascists, on the political scale both Nazis and Fascists are considered to be on the far right of the spectrum.

They don't want to be labeled as far right, it won't work with their agenda. What they have done is adopt the tactics of Hitler and Mussolini to over throw the government and call themselves left leaning. This has been going on since 1993 (Clinton). Anarchists ( Antifa) are their version of Hitlers brown shirts and Mussolini's black shirts. This is all coming out of Communist Party USA, in the Clintons and Obamas city of Chicago. Obama, Bill Ayers, Valerie Jarret, Hillary and many others come from Chicago. The birth of CPUSA!

The WP is not know for the intelligence, honesty and integrity of it’s writers or editorial staff. Mark Bray provides more proof for that perception.

They are black supremacists paid to silence conservative speech through violence.

Its adherents are predominantly communists, socialists and anarchists...

Which makes them enemy combatants, spies, and traitors.

The biggest part of the lie is that "he equated them".....

He pointed out that wrong is wrong and both sides have done wrong.

The Left has committed far more violence than the Right for about as long as I can remember and I was born in '52. In the last 25 years it has to be about a 90/10 split....

President Trump is BRILLIANT: With his TRUTHFUL STATEMENTS, he has FORCED the Left into allying itself with a movement that is violent, racist and anti-American.
There are HUNDREDS of videos and THOUSANDS of pictures showing these fools attacking bystanders, policemen and the Media as well as carrying disgusting signs and burning the American flag.
I swear to the Lord above, Democrats are the dumbest human beings on the planet.

I’m not sure who would be in charge of making the decision, but in a week or so (after every Democrat in America have left a paper trail defending and supporting them) the Trump administration should declare Anti-Fa a terrorist organization.
The Left have taken the bait and started defending these terrorists.

The woman who died was an illegal disruptor. Although probably not a paid disruptor, she was never the less acting illegally in her naive presence.

“The vast majority of anti-fascist organizing is nonviolent.”

A lie.

Antifa are always violent. They attack not defend. Indeed they often use the more peaceful protesters as shield and cover.

The bike lock attacker is a great example: he pushes towards the front, attacks, and then melts back into the crowd.

Sure, many of these ‘anti-racist’ protesters are soy boys and cat ladys and thus inclined towards non-violence. However, they are still capable attacks (spitting, throwing things, etc.)

Without the video and photographic evidence we might have believed that moldylocks was just a peaceful young woman attacked by a mean ‘White nationalist.’

Washington Post are liars. President Trump did no such thing. He correctly said that Antifa is a hate group that employs violence. Ironically, no group in the United States more precisely embodies fascist behavior.

Such as attempting to shut down free speech. IMO, they should be charged with hate crimes when they harass, attack and assault people based solely on differing political viewpoints, as people here in the US have a right to say or believe just about anything they want, no matter how crazy. You don't have to like or agree with it.

For example, see my post 18 for some of the things THEY (the “counter-protesters”) believe in.

The Washington Post trying to sanitize Antifa, but it does not work because just as “you are known by your works” the works of Antifa are exactly the same as the fascists, violent intimidation against WHOMEVER you choose to target as “the enemy”.

As Cornel West explained after surviving neo-Nazi attacks in Charlottesville, “If it hadn’t been for the antifascists protecting us from the neo-fascists, we would have been crushed like cockroaches.”

Oh Lord.... someoene get him a “I survived Charlottelville’ Tshirt

Actually, weren’t the original “antifa” the group the Brownshirts were founded to counteract?
