President Trump announced Wednesday that he will designate antifa as a terrorist organization, and is recommending investigations into people who allegedly fund it. It’s unclear when the designation will take place, or what legal implications it will have. Antifa — short for anti-fascist — is an affiliation of anarcho-communists and each franchise has its own […] The post President Trump Will Declare Antifa a Terrorist Group appeared first on www.independentsentinel.com.

President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that he is designating Antifa as a terrorist group. In recent days, the president has accused left-wing groups of fomenting violence against Republicans and conservatives. The president accused the “radical left” of inciting hatred and violence after the assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk on September 10, and hinted at action from his administration to crack down on such groups. “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,” wrote Trump in a post on Truth Social. “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!” Trump’s announcement came days after he said that he would consider a terror group designation for Antifa, a radical leftist group that has been accused of attacking law enforcement and inciting riots. Trump has also suggested revoking the tax-exempt status of progressive nonprofits over their support for radical elements in the United States and elsewhere. In a video statement after Kirk’s death, Trump tied rhetoric from leftist groups to “terrorism” and violence aimed at outspoken conservatives. “It’s long past time for all Americans and the media to confront the fact that violence and murder are the tragic consequence of demonizing those with whom you disagree day after day, year after year in the most hateful and despicable way possible,” said Trump. “For years, those on the radical left have compared wonderful Americans like Charlie to Nazis and the world’s worst mass murderers and criminals. This kind of rhetoric is directly responsible for the kind of terrorism that we are seeing in our country today and it must stop right now,” he said.

President Donald Trump announced Wednesday that he will designate Antifa, a loose coalition of activist groups that has engaged in violent riots across the country in recent years, 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,” the president posted on Truth Social. “I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices,” Trump added. “Thank you for your attention to this matter!” “Left-wing organizations have fueled violent riots, organized attacks against law enforcement officers, coordinated illegal doxing campaigns, arranged drop points for weapons and riot materials, and more,” White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told The Daily Signal in a statement Tuesday. “The Trump administration will get to the bottom of this vast network inciting violence in American communities,” she added. “This effort will target those committing criminal acts and hold them accountable.” While protests in the name of the Black Lives Matter movement occasionally grew into violent riots before 2020, the riots that followed protests in the name of George Floyd that summer set a horrifying record for violent destruction. Property Claim Services reported in 2021 that the protests between May 28 and June 8, 2020, resulted in more than $2 billion in insurance payouts, the largest “riot and civil disorder catastrophe” on record. At least 26 Americans lost their lives in the riots, including black people like 77-year-old retired St. Louis Police Captain David Dorn. According to the State Department, under Executive Order 13224, which President George W. Bush signed after Sept. 11, 2001, the designation of an organization as a terrorist organization leads to many immediate consequences. Federal law enforcement will have the ability to block the designated organization’s access to property or ability to conduct transactions, and the legal system will deter donations or contributions to such organizations. The designation will draw public attention to the group, and will alert other governments to American concerns about support for terrorism, among other things.

The Jimmy Kimmel Backlash

ABC News correspondent Matt Gutman is under fire — and rightfully so — for having one of the more innately disturbing public responses to the news of Charlie Kirk’s murder.The reporter called the text messages the alleged assassin sent to his transgender partner about killing Charlie Kirk “very touching.”“It was very touching in a way that many of us didn’t expect,” Gutman said. “A very intimate portrait into this relationship between the suspect’s roommate and the suspect himself, with him repeatedly calling his roommate, who is transitioning, calling him ‘my love.’ And, ‘I want to protect you, my love.’”“So, it was this duality of someone who the attorney said not only jeopardized the life of Charlie Kirk and the crowd, but was doing it in front of children, which is one of the aggravating circumstances of this case. And on the other hand, he was, you know, speaking so lovingly about his partner,” he added.Gutman had been suspended before for falsely reporting on the Kobe Bryant death.“He instinctively framed it like this,” executive producer of the “Steve Deace Show” says, shocked.“That’s the thing. I mean, he’s riffing, guys,” BlazeTV host Steve Deace says.“And understand, he is not your lefty neighbor who is getting information from his sources downstream lying to him. He is at the press conference. He is receiving the evidence, or at least the alleged evidence,” Deace explains. “So, it’s been handed to him.”“This is innate. This is visceral. Out of the heart, the mouth speaks. And this is what he took away from this,” he says.“Now, let’s be fair. It’s a tale as old as time. Boy meets boy. And they just exchange a litany of long-form text messages where they literally say things. ‘I will kill Charlie Kirk now’ — period. ‘I will go grab rifle now’ — period. ‘This is where I will be and when’ — period. ‘Will you help me?’ — period. ‘No, I will pull trigger myself,’” Deace mocks robotically. “Because people just routinely communicate like that.”Want more from Steve Deace?To enjoy more of Steve's take on national politics, Christian worldview, and principled conservatism with a snarky twist, subscribe to BlazeTV — the largest multi-platform network of voices who love America, defend the Constitution, and live the American dream.
