POLITICS-GOVT Congress left out Left in anti-hate resolution

A conservative black activist says Congress should have included Antifa and other left-wing groups in a resolution condemning the violence and racial hatred expressed in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Longtime black activist Nadra Enzi, who serves on the advisory council at Project 21, says Antifa was noticeably absent from the recent joint resolution of Congress that condemned white supremacists, the Ku Klux, neo-Nazis and other hate groups.

He points at finger at Antifa, the Black Lives Matter movement, and the racist La Raza group as other "hate groups" that went unmentioned.

"You know, the anarchists who always put on masks and destroy property and attack people," he says of Antifa, which is shorthand for "anti-fascist." "So it just shouldn't be a denunciation of white nationalism per se."

Antifa's cop-punching, Trump-supporter-chasing, window-smashing campaign was going largely unreported in the mainstream media until neo-Nazis held a Charlottesville rally to protest the removal of a Robert E. Lee statute and left-wing groups showed up, too.

In a scene reminiscent of pre-World War II Berlin, Nazis and communists were fighting each other with bats and bricks, injuring people on both sides, but the event took a lethal turn when a neo-Nazi allegedly drove his car into a crowd of left-wing protesters, killing a woman.

Democrats and some Republicans denounced President Donald Trump when he blamed Charlottesville's violence on both sides, and the congressional resolution was birthed from angry Democrats and from Republicans running from Trump's "both sides" comments.

Trump signed the resolution Sept. 14 and then shortly thereafter repeated his condemnation of "pretty bad dues on the other side," referring to Antifa.

And he was proven right. It's now been reported that the FBI and Homeland Security have been investigating Antifa since 2016, classifying its followers as "anarchist extremists" who target police, government buildings, and the capitalist system, according to a Washington Free Beacon story that cites a confidential intelligence report.

A recent Rasmussen poll shows that voters are now following the actions of so-called "Antifa" protesters and aren't impressed with what they see. The survey of likely U.S. voters shows only 24 percent have a favorable opinion of the Antifa while 58 percent share an unfavorable opinion of the group with 18-percent undecided. https://www.onenewsnow.com/politics-govt/2017/09/22/congress-left-out-left-in-anti-hate-resolution This article makes some great points. The rest of it is worth reading as well. Antifa is a hate group.

 

Antifa and BLM are hate groups along with the SPLC and they enable or participate in domestic political terrorism against their ideological opposition.
