More alternative facts from the White House and Fox News. Who knew! If they were anti-First Amendment, wouldn't they call themselves in print AntiFA? KELLYANNE CONWAY FALSELY CLAIMS ANTIFA STANDS FOR 'ANTI-FIRST AMENDMENT' ON 'FOX & FRIENDS'Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway and a Fox News contributor on Monday both falsely claimed that Antifa is a shortened version of "anti-First Amendment" during a segment on Fox & Friends discussing media coverage of the movement. Conservative commentator and radio show host Dan Bongino argued on Monday that members of the movement are "not counter-protesters" during an appearance on Fox News. "They're not counter-protesters, OK?" Bongino said. "You've been in the media [for] a long time. Other outlets do this; it's called gas lighting. Tell a lie, tell a lie confidently, and isolate people from the truth, and you can get people to believe anything." "Antifa are not counter-protesters, it is an anti-First Amendment — that's what it stands for," the commentator continued. "They tell you it stands for 'anti-fascist,' it really is 'anti-First Amendment.' They are an anti-First Amendment, ultra-violent terror group that wants to silence people's free speech. They are not counter-protesters." Article here: KELLYANNE CONWAY FALSELY CLAIMS ANTIFA STANDS FOR 'ANTI-FIRST AMENDMENT' ON 'FOX & FRIENDS' |

Bongino is a drooler. “Ultra violent terrorists “....sure they are.

this is an attack on counterinsurgency.
it is utterly predictable.
how about this: the alt-right are the actual terrorists, and Antifa is "counter-terrorism".
inaccurate, but far more accurate than KAC's claim.

Beating up people who express different political opinions than you is a pretty effective way to suppress their right to free speech. Those guys of been caught doing this time and time again.

Hokoana came looking for melee, bragging on line, he was in six fights, pepper sprayed a photographer and then his wife SHOT an Antifa trying to disarm her husband. That’s a Seattle alt right violence.
In Charlottesville the dude plowed his car into a crowd killing a woman. He was a “good people”.
Let me know when Antifa is shooting unarmed people and killing them with cars.

I support their right to defend themselves.
