We may finally see some action from the White House on home grown terrorists. The President is talking about going after the alt-lefts military wing Antifa.
“Consideration is being given to declaring ANTIFA, the gutless Radical Left Wack Jobs who go around hitting (only non-fighters) people over the heads with baseball bats, a major Organization of Terror (along with MS-13 & others),” Trump tweeted Saturday. “Would make it easier for police to do their job!”
Let's hope that this isn't just tough talk. We see some on the left run from Antifa when they are seen committing acts of violence. But those same folks don't condemn it. I've actually read on some hate group channels where some of the comments actually glorify it.
In closing, look who's worried about the first amendment.
“It is dangerous and overly broad to use labels that are disconnected [from] actual individual conduct,” Hina Shamsi, director of the national security project at the American Civil Liberties Union, told The Washington Post this week. “And as we’ve seen how ‘terrorism’ has been used already in this country, any such scheme raises significant due process, equal protection and First Amendment constitutional concerns.”
What say you?
