Jonathan Turley says the U.S. is losing the opportunity to find consensus because of violence and shutting down free speech.
He says Antifa is arguably the most successful anti-speech movement of this generation and they are "winning."
"They are winning, they are winning because universities are now effectively blocking conservative and opposing speakers, they are winning because media and politicians downplay such violence."
"They are winning because local authorities are ordering police to stand down or prosecutors to drop charges. They are winning because free speech is being treated as a destabilizing or threatening factor in our schools or society.".......
