A petition urging the Trump administration to officially label Antifa a “terror group” has more than double the 100,000 signatures needed to merit a formal response from the White House.
The left-wing
"anti-fascist" group has come under fire in the wake of the violence
at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virgnia. Many have claimed
that Antifa demonstrators played a significant role in the violent clashes in
Charlottesville and at other events across the country.
As of Tuesday evening, more
than 250,000 people had signed the petition, which states:
Terrorism is defined as “the
use of violence and intimidation in pursuit of political aims”. This definition
is the same definition used to declare ISIS and other groups, as terrorist
organizations. AntiFa has earned this title due to its violent actions in
multiple cities and their influence in the killings of multiple police officers
throughout the United States. It is time for the pentagon to be consistent in
its actions – and just as they rightfully declared ISIS a terror group, they
must declare AntiFa a terror group – on the grounds of principle, integrity,
morality, and safety.
On "The Fox News
Specialists," Kat Timpf pointed out that Antifa activists claim to be
fighting fascism, but their tactics are actually very fascist.
"The ones that I've encountered are not these kind, social justice-y type of people," Timpf said. "They're anarchists. They don't want government period, whatsoever."
Former Rep. Nan Hayworth
(R-NY) said the violent Antifa demonstrators are "wannabe domestic
terrorists," if not true domestic terrorists.
"They just want to go out
and cause trouble," she said. "It's frightening, it's fascist, it is
not American. They have a right to express themselves, but the way they're
doing it is wrong in many, many ways."
