Trump Executive Order: ‘Violence Spurred by Antifa … Is Dangerous to Human Life and the Fabric of Our Nation’
(Worthy News) – In a Jan. 5 executive order, President Donald J. Trump directed the State Department and the Justice Department to assess whether the left-wing Antifa organization should be classified as a “terrorist organization,” and to consider listing Antifa as “aliens who are members of an identified criminal organization.”
Antifa is a global, radical movement that claims it is anti-fascist and anti-racist. Many of its members or followers espouse left-wing ideologies such as communism, socialism, anarchism, and radical environmentalism. Its roots stretch back to thee 1930s Antifaschistiche Aktion, which was the “paramilitary arm of the Pro-USSR German Communist Party (KPD),” reported Chris Tomlinson at Breitbart News.
