David Hogg, a Parkland shooting survivor-turned-gun control activist, compared law enforcement and officials in President Trump's administration to fascists, saying his grandfather fought with antifa against similar forces during World War II.
Hogg, who has been highly critical of the Trump administration, suggested the president called his grandfather and other veterans "terrorists" when Trump said the United States would designate antifa a terrorist organization.
"My grandpa was part of the Antifa forces in WWII sad Donald Trump has labeled him and his fellow vets as terrorists," Hogg tweeted.
Trump has blamed the left-wing antifa movement for violent demonstrations across the country in several cities, including looting, arson, and major clashes between protesters and law enforcement. The president said Sunday that the U.S. would designate antifa a domestic terrorist organization.
The protests began last week after George Floyd, a black man, died after a white Minneapolis police officer pressed a knee into Floyd's neck for nearly nine minutes during an arrest.
Hogg and other left-wing figures have shrugged off the blame that has been placed on antifa for the wave of violence, fixating on how the name, which is short for anti-fascist, is representative of those who have fought against fascist regimes, including Nazi Germany. Critics on the Right have for years said antifa activists pose a threat. Republican Sens. Bill Cassidy and Ted Cruz called them "hateful, intolerant radicals" as they filed a resolution last summer to categorize antifa as a domestic terrorist organization.
Attorney General William Barr said on Saturday that "many places" across the country were seeing violent protests spurred by "anarchic" and "far-left extremist groups." He added that agitators were using "antifalike tactics” and that many of them were traveling from out of state to participate in the protests.
Barr added on Sunday that the violence being “instigated and carried out” by "antifa and other similar groups" in connection to nationwide rioting is “domestic terrorism and will be treated accordingly.”
Does he understand that “Antifa” was basically the Communist version of the SS? They were the ones assigned to carry out violence and terror against opponents of the communists. They were hardcore Stalinists.

I am seeing this kind of BS on FB from auntee fa peeps. Sorry idiot children, US forces were fighting to defeat an enemy army. We didn’t care one whit for how they governed. We cared that they shot at us and our allies.
Is that all they teach in school anymore Truth Twisting.101 and Advanced Language Hijacking & Grotesque Manipulation?
The Antifa Forces what a little twit.
I’m 40, and MY grandfather was too young to fight in WW2. He had to have his father’s permission to join the Arny in 1946 at age 17. He passed away earlier this year at the age of 90.
So Hogg’s grandfather was a German communist?
Me too turn 40 in three weeks NOWAY this little fraud’s grandfather was in WW2
Grandpa would have done the world a favor by getting neutered.

Why? The earlier Antifa was a communist paramilitary group in WWII. Makes perfect sense.
Some people become parents when older, especially men since they don’t have menopause there are men like my uncle who became a father in his 50s with a much younger woman as his wife. If he was a WWII Vet (He is Navy Vietnam). Then he would have been a father to some child in the 1960s or 1970s if he was born in the 1920s and a grandfather with a forty something child and late teen early 20s grandchild. I agree, it’s likely stupid banter, but there are some people like my uncle who don’t father children until they are older.
I’m going with he’s full of shit.
I’m sure Hogg’s granddaddy was a fine solider but I wish some German doberman or French whore had bitten off his sack and spared us his brain dead progeny.
This kid might be the dumbest jizz squirt in the country.
Is he a Kennedy?
Biden has him beat.
“...dumbest jizz squirt in the country...”
LOL!!!! Can I borrow that phrase?? Best description ever...
