CNN’s David Axelrod expressed alarm after President Donald Trump designated Antifa as a terrorist organization on Wednesday, stating that the act is a pretext for pursuing political enemies.
Anitfa, which stands for “anti-fascist,” is a decentralized collection of left-wing 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,” Trump wrote on Truth Social from the U.K. in the wee hours of the morning. “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!”
