President Trump announced Sunday that the U.S. government will designate the far-left group Antifa as a terrorist organization.

This comes as Trump has blamed Antifa for riots taking place across the country in response to the death of George Floyd, the unarmed black man who died May 25 while in police custody in Minneapolis, Minn., after an officer kneeled on his neck for more than 8 minutes in an incident caught on video.

National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien told ABC News’ George Stephanopoulos that the rioting in most cities was being instigated by outsiders aligned with Antifa.

“The reports we’re receiving is that this is Antifa. They’re crossing state lines,” O’Brien said. “And we’ve seen this happen before. We saw it in Portland. We saw it in Seattle. We saw it in Berkeley. So, look, we’ll keep our eyes open for anyone else that wants to take advantage of the situation, whether it’s domestic or foreign

IMO, it’s long PAST time to do this needful task. - While our POTUS is doing that, he should add BLM to that list of terrorist groups.

Still winning! Can’t happen soon enough.

Some lawyer on Fox News said there is up to a 5 year prison term for crossing state lines to incite a riot. Lock them all up. I assume that is a Federal crime, it is something that occurs outside a single state’s jurisdiction.

Lock them all up for 5 years. I am good with that.

I am sure this also gives the Feds all kinds of new tools to go after the Antifa leaders on social media and through their phone calls, & etc. Since they will be a terrorist organization, it should be easier to get warrants to follow the communications of all these guys and get out in front of their activity and bust their leaders.

Can’t happen soon enough.

I wish the president would of added one of his usual zingers in his statement and linked Antifa with the Democrats. Everybody, including the RATS themselves, know that group is filled with Berniebots and other associated far left kooks, with all of their connections leading straight back to them. This is the kind of “collusion” that the RATS aren’t too proud to talk about.

He needs to start by freezing the funding, immediately, and as high up as necessary.
