About damn time

quote:

Senators Ted Cruz of Texas and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana introduced an official resolution on Thursday to condemn Antifa as a "domestic terrorist organization."

"Antifa are terrorists, violent masked bullies who ‘fight fascism’ with actual fascism, protected by Liberal privilege," Cassidy said in a press release according to the Daily Caller.

"Like any terrorist organization they choose to pursue their political ends through violence, fear and intimidation," Cruz said. "They must be stopped. I am proud to introduce this resolution with Senator Cassidy to properly identify what Antifa are: domestic terrorists."

Another feckless resolution that means absolutely nothing. What a waste of time and money.

Does this have any weight to it? Wouldn't the FBI or DOJ have to do it for it to have meaning?

I disaagree bigly.

If nothing else, it's an important gesture. We have to start somewnere to get rid of these scumbags, and this resolution could be a good start.

Infringing on their right to express themselves by destroying property and injuring innocent people who disagree with them, all while covering themselves in cowardly masks.

Who will come to the defense of AntiFa?


Exactly. Republicans are doing judo and making the dems walk into a trap. Trump is a master at this and I think the rest of the Rs are catching on. Make the dems own something that people dislike. Genius.

What a bunch of hosreshit. I had the same thing to say when there was a resolution to condemn Omar and Trump's comments.

We all know where these people stand. They should be working on more important business than stupid gotcha resolutions.

All you have to do is say the dems support Antifa in a prominent ad then put the ball in their court. No resolution needed.

At the behest of the Squad, Nancy Pelosi works quickly to attempt to remove the word Antifa and add the words Republicans, White people who disagree with us and Jews.
