In Hearing, Senate Democrats Continue To Deny Antifa Exists
August 4, 2020 By David Marcus
In a Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution hearing today, Department of Homeland Security Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli and U.S. Attorney Erin Healy Cox fielded questions about the use of federal agents to quell the riots that have beset Portland for the past two months. Democrats on the committee were committed to asking about anything other than the violence perpetrated by Antifa. Instead, they spent most of their time attacking the federal agents.
Democrats took every opportunity to condemn right-wing violence stretching back years but would not acknowledge even the existence of Antifa. Republicans, on the other hand, all condemned violence equally, including the violence of white supremacists, insisting that all violence against law enforcement and all anti-government violence must be equally prosecuted.
While Sen. Ted Cruz focused his questions on Antifa violence, Democrat senators such as Mazie Hirono took their time to attack witnesses, while ignoring the issue at hand. At one point Hirono said she decried violence of all stripes. Cruz asked if that includes Antifa. Her answer? “It’s my time.†That’s a no. None of the other Democrats did much better.
