Trump Warns Antifa: The Opposition Can Be 'Much More Violent'

Source: Mediate



by Aidan McLaughlin | Nov 14th, 2018, 4:15 pm

President Donald Trump‘s interview with the Daily Caller has provided little in the way of news from what has been released so far, but more than enough weird comments from our very weird commander in chief. Among them, an ominous threat to Antifa, the group of radical left wing activists who protested outside Tucker Carlson‘s home last week.

“These people, like the Antifa — they better hope that the opposition to Antifa decides not to mobilize,” Trump told the Daily Caller when asked about the group. “Because if they do, they’re much tougher. Much stronger.”

“Potentially much more violent,” he continued. “And Antifa’s going to be in big trouble. But so far they haven’t done that and that’s a good thing.”

The website, which was founded by Carlson, asked Trump about the recent protests outside the Fox News host’s home, which police are investigating.

Phony grassroot goon squads like bikers for Trump will now start cracking heads. This is his call to arms for them and proves there is no depth he will sink to.

That is a direct threat to American citizens.

...For both the Proud Boys and Antifa. It seems that Antifa meets the Proud Boys wherever they go, like they have synced up drinking schedules or something.

After all, it was found that some of their Twitter accounts were linked to Russian bots, so it wouldn't surprise me in the least if they pulled off the mask and exposed who Antifa really is.

Trump admits that the alt-right..White Supremists-Neo Nazis are "strong" and "potentially much more violent"and claims that they haven't already mobilized

WTF!

He is obviously oblivious to all the recent arrests of the "Proud Boys" @ Republican's having Gavin McInnes as a speaker and the violence afterward,
The recent guilty convictions and 6-8 yr prison sentences of 3 Neo-Nazi's from Charlottesville, not to mention James Fields and 3 more Neo Nazi's arrested last month again from Charlottesville.
Not even addressing all the hate/violent crimes the alt-right gets arrested for daily throughout the US.
It's all available online, that's if he was ever interested.

To quote Rex Tillerson..he's a "fucking moron", Rex just left out the dangerous.
