Would you mind taking some time to educate this administration about Antifa? I don’t know if they’re ignorant or it’s just another reason to arrest or kill people. Thank you.

I like how they gave the Nobel Prize to someone fighting for democracy in Venezuela, instead of someone sinking fishing boats off their coast.

But they arrest anyone who peacefully protests for Palestinians. Someone is smoking too much weed.

Kristi Noem, while governor of South Dakota, supplemented her roughly $130,000 salary by secretly accepting $80,000 donated to a political nonprofit she was affiliated with, records show.

She never disclosed this income on federal ethics forms.

What will it take for regular people to understand that if they refuse to stand up against fascism they will not be spared? Fascism is a serial killer with no restrictions on who it targets.

I’m sure they know that Antifa isn’t an organization, but it doesn’t matter so long as it fits into their narrative.

Here’s an angle for a journalist looking for a fresh take on the White House “Antifa” roundtable — most of the people who participated are employed by or have a direct financial connection to Turning Point USA. I think that’s pretty telling, no?
