Senators Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA) introduced a resolution
Thursday that would label
Antifa a “domestic terrorist organization.”
“Whereas members of Antifa, because they believe that free speech is
equivalent to violence, have used threats of violence in the pursuit of
suppressing opposing political ideologies,” the resolution states.
The resolution continues:
Whereas Antifa represents opposition to the democratic
ideals of peaceful assembly and free speech for all; Whereas members of
Antifa have physically assaulted journalists and other individuals during
protests and riots in Berkeley, California; Whereas in February of 2018,
journalist Andy Ngo was intimidated and threatened with violence by
protestors affiliated with Antifa.
Cruz wrote on Twitter Thursday that the group is a “terrorist organization
composed of hateful, intolerant radicals who pursue their extreme agenda
through aggressive violence.”
Cassidy echoed his colleague’s statements in a press release Thursday.
“Antifa are terrorists, violent masked bullies who ‘fight fascism’ with actual
fascism, protected by Liberal privilege,” he said. “Bullies get their way until
someone says no. Elected officials must have courage, not cowardice, to
prevent terror.”
