A new White House petition this week is calling on the Trump administration to formally recognize the Antifa movement as a terrorist organization.
"AntiFa has earned this title due to its violent actions in multiple cities and their influence in the killings of multiple police officers throughout the United States," the petition, started Thursday, states.
Antifa is short for anti-fascists, and the people involved are generally extreme leftists known for their face-offs with right-wing activists, including recently in Berkeley, Calif. Antifa counter-protesters made an appearance in Charlottesville, Va. this past weekend and clashed with white supremacy and neo-Nazi groups protesting the removal of a Robert E. Lee statue.
Though he didn't use the term "Antifa," President Trump, who has been under fire for not taking a dedicated hardline stance against the white supremacy gathering, did express concern over the violent actions of the "alt-left" in Charlottesville.
"What about the alt-left that came charging at, as you say, at the alt-right? Do they have any assemblage of guilt?" Trump told reporters at Trump Tower on Tuesday. "What about the fact that they came charging with clubs in their hands swinging clubs? Do they have any problem? I think they do. That was a horrible, horrible day."
Trump added that there was "blame on both sides."

Great catch!!
Same Commie group, different decade.
All those should be but will never be because they line too many politicians’ pockets. The Hill should be renamed The Graft.

Liberals believe your civil rights end when they dont like you!

Obama’s goons didn’t hesitate to label veterans, conservative Patriot organizations, the NRA, etc, as potential domestic enemies.
Time to repay the favor.
White House petition asks Trump to formally recognize Antifa as terrorist organization
Antifa, America’s ISIS.
Proud I am:
“You’ve successfully signed the petition below. Your signature has been verified and counted.”
Antifa started during the Hitler era in Germany in the 1930’s and were really anti-fascists back then. This new Antifa is actually fascist as you stated.
If you’ve heard of stolen valor you know how serious it is when someone steals the valor someone else earned. These fakes should be belittled and shunned in society for their crime of stealing valor others earned and what they are making a mockery of.
I agree. I just don't agree with whom the guilty party is. The antifa crowd who started beating on this kid's car, especially the one who hit it from behind as it slowly drove by, are responsible for the death and injuries. You can't blame someone for trying to save their own life by fleeing a mob of violent killers which is what antifa is.
Give the car driver a warning ticket to be more careful about driving down streets filled with violent protesters and let him go. Charge and jail the entire antifa crowd there; even the woman who was killed. Try them all, the dead one in absentia of course, and let the evidence tell the story about all the violent antifa's jaywalking in the street causing mayhem.
It's a shame the woman got killed but do stupid things; win stupid prizes. You do know she was harassing the car drivers in the road ahead of the Challenger driver right? She put herself in harms way by choice. They were all breaking the law by being in the street even if pedestrians always have the right of way.
I agree but then no one will know who you're talking about. Just let them call themselves whatever they want; we know what they are and so does the vast majority of the country.
The left thinks the general public is stupid but that's only half true. The leftist public is stupid and easily manipulated. The right leaning public can easily see things for what they are.
Those antifa were antifacom, Antifa Communists. These are antifafa. I like the way that sounds, and it will drive them crazy.
What about Occupy Wall Street and the fanatic Burnie supporters
Yes, I just couldn't list all the egg sucking dog libtard groups.
Ditto. Violent wherever they go. Easy call.
SIGNED IT! Now 1/3rd of the way with only 66,000 to go!
