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.” https://www.washingtonpost.com/gdpr-...=.62920da3c6a8 https://www.cnsnews.com/news/article...ntifa-domestic https://ijr.com/cruz-cassidy-antifa-...ic-terrorists/ https://www.breitbart.com/crime/2019...ic-terrorists/ |

Yet they refuse to label the people who shot up the black church aand the Tree Of Life synagogue as domestic terrorists, I wonder why?

Just a reminder that the US still doesn't class the KKK as a terrorist organisation

Antifa has never killed anyone, how many have the far right killed?..
This is just another tactic to label anyone protesting against bigotry and facism as the true bad guys, it’s completely transparent. Mr. Cruz has been pictures very proudly associating with the highest members of the ‘Proud Boys’ an actual far-right racist organisation, but heaven forbid people protest the things he agrees with, republicans have fully embraced sewer life at this point.

Seems a bit dumb when they don't recognise the Charlottesville killer or the Charleston church shooter as terrorists. Like so many right wingers, they are weirdly defensive over their extreme elements to the point that they defend them by refusing to acknowledge what they are.
Antifa are arseholes that I disavow completely but they don't kill people, they don't blow up buildings. They don't do anything that really defines them as terrorists. This is just the right wing trying to ignore the fact that Right Wing terrorism is THE biggest domestic threat facing the US right now by using false equivalency to make out the left is the same when it's not. These senators need to look at the right, since it's right ring extremism that's actually killing people. |

I suppose if the government had fascist ambitions, then anything anti-fascism is indeed a terrorist organization by definition.

Why not name some far right organisations, and we can see how many people they've killed, and what violence they've carried out. Anyway, the KKK should be labelled a terror group, as should Antifa. |

As it stands there are no left wing organisations that are the equivalent to the ****ing KKK, there are no Left Wing terrorists shooting up white churches, there are no left wingers racing their car into a bunch of right wing protesters etc. Trying to make out that there's left equivalent to these terrorists is pure enlightened centrism and it's pushing lies to do it. |

Terrorists kill people, or attempt to. Antifa are thugs but they aren't terrorists and this whole attempt by the right wing to fabricate a non-existent left leaning terrorist threat is just desperation and preparation for next year's election. Next year's lies.

To try to label protesters terrorists sets a dangerous precedent imo
