Trump is right, antifa are terrorists; they always were

The word “anti-fascist†began as a lie. It remains a lie today.
Clueless commentators, ignorant of its history, have been known to refer to the "antifa" movement as “strictly principled anti-fascists,†or a group that “protests fascism.†In fact, this is a movement of violent extremists whose philosophy traces back to the early 20th century.
The riots now raging in U.S. cities are not about police misconduct. They haven’t been for many days. The senseless and callous police killing of George Floyd inspired peaceful protests at first, but now it has become an excuse for a troupe of professional revolutionaries and marauders. They use these incidents in order to flex their muscle and test how far their impressionable recruits are willing to go in breaking the law, as Jared Monroe discovered upon infiltrating one such group in Utah.
The Soviets coined “anti-fascism†as a propaganda term some nine decades ago. The Soviet regime needed to develop a message that would mollify credulous Western democrats and get them to stop viewing Bolshevism as a threat.
