‘Antifa Does Not Appear By Accident’: Tucker Says Rioting Is Meant To ‘Affect A Political Outcome’
Daily Caller ^ | Harold Hutchison

Posted on 01/28/2023 2:05:58 AM PST by RoosterRedux

Fox News host Tucker Carlson said Friday that Antifa “does not appear by accident” and intends to secure a political outcome in the wake of Memphis police releasing footage of a fatal altercation involving officers and a motorist.

“As we speak, Antifa is coordinating riots on both coasts and in between. That would include Seattle, Portland, Oregon, Los Angeles, California, as well as Atlanta, Georgia, New York City, suburban Washington, D.C., et cetera, et cetera. Barricades are going up right now in Times Square.

“Antifa is not a bunch of hooligans. These are not idle kids who appear out of nowhere because they are so mad about what they saw on cable news or read on Twitter. Antifa is a political instrument whose actions always are intended to affect a political outcome, period. Antifa does not appear by accident. Antifa appears with a purpose, to affect a political outcome, every single time,” Carlson said.

“If there’s one criticism of the rest of us watching this at home, is that we often miss that, because every channel is telling us something terrible happened, here’s a video of it, and sometimes that video is terrible,” Carlson added. “And then they imply that, because of this video, the emotions of the people watching just erupt into rage and violence. But that’s not what’s happening.”

Antifa has allegedly threatened or attacked conservative events at colleges and political rallies in the past, including a riot during Donald Trump’s 2017 inauguration as president.

“Antifa is being organized by whom? We don’t know. Why don’t we know? To do what? We can’t say right now,” Carlson said. “But we know for certain that, in cities across the country, right now, Antifa is mobilizing to commit violence. This is a political militia.”

The michigan militia has been way up on the radar for decades.

True but they're nothing but a group of harmless, weekend Rambos....

Antifa is anything but...

On Instapundit today:

RADICAL CHIC: THE NEXT GENERATION. Ivy League Lawyer Who Firebombed Cop Car Will Spend a Year and a Day in Prison. “Trump administration prosecutors had sought a 10-year sentence with a domestic terrorism enhancement for the pair, which was dropped after President Joe Biden and Attorney General Merrick Garland took office.

Considering the harsh treatment of the J6 freedom fighters, it’s obvious that the two tiered justice system is permissive to Antifa’s crimes. We’re on our own if their violence spreads.

But Antifa is composed of a bunch of hooligans. Yes, they are organized, and have a network that can be alerted on a moment’s notice. So apparently these “idle young people” can come streaming out of the woodwork and converging on the next “hot spot” almost instantaneously, and to the unpracticed eye, almost magically.

There is a large “fifth column” of disaffected Americans in name only that stand ready to kick down all the pillars upon which this nation was founded, and they pick the targets carefully, (a) police apparently behaving badly, and (b) person of color as victim.

The Wild Riders— non-self creatures of Chaos-—have been whistled out of the Void to bring terror, destruction, and death upon America.

You overlooked mentioning the UN, the OIC.

Welcome to the obamanation and their attack on Western Christian man. They are attacking the hub of western White men.
Globally, the racists have targeted the white, the originators and creators of progress which we see in every invention.
Worst part is the ass clowns have nothing better to offer than the blind destruction of what whitey built

You assume too much about me. Just because you don't understand what I'm saying doesn't mean I am asleep.

Antifa rioted under Trump because Trump was the leader of their enemy (a free America).

Just because they haven't heretofore made a lot of noise under Biden doesn't mean that have disbanded or have taken a vacation.

Their actions are always intended to further the cause of Marxism. That includes much more than rioting.

When rioting furthers their cause, they riot. They obviously have concluded that these riots will not damage their cause and will indeed further it.

I think the “traffic stop” itself was a paid for, orchestrated event to cause civil unrest and further divisiveness and hatred in America. Antifa in the streets, as after the George Floyd incident, is the paid for follow-up. I also believe there are paid actors online to stir up hatred, resentment, and division. Ultimately Satan is behind it, but he has a man on the ground, too, like Soros, with deep pockets. That money may be paying for everything, including the so-called newscasts and peaceful protests. Divided we fall.

Was the beating death planned (and paid for) in order to give multiple-city riots an excuse?

I believe it was.

I'm most certainly not all-knowing. Frankly, much of what I learn about day-to-day events comes from other Freepers.

But your arrogance in assuming another person's memory is fading because they didn't mention a detail that you thought important, because they just misspoke, or because you disagree with their point is a powerful kind of self-important bias.

Bias may feel good when your self-esteem is low, but it clouds the truth and leads to ignorance.

Obama’s civilian army, likely funded by Soros.

Precisely.

BTW, there is a small cadre of Freepers (very small) that try to pump their egos up by insulting other Freepers.

I hope you're not one of those.
