Iowa Democrat Compares WWII D-Day Heroes to Antifa Terrorists

Democrat Iowa attorney general candidate Nate Willems is facing renewed scrutiny after social media posts surfaced showing him amplifying content that compared Antifa activists to heroic American troops who fought in World War II.

Willems, a former Iowa state representative and labor attorney, is running to unseat Attorney General Brenna Bird, who is seeking a second term.

While Willems has pledged to work alongside prosecutors and law enforcement to combat violent crime, critics are raising questions about social media activity that appears to praise Antifa, a group President Donald Trump designated as a domestic terrorist organization in 2025.

Posts Compared Antifa to D-Day Troops
 
Screenshots from Willems’ X account show him reposting content that likened Antifa activists to American servicemen who fought Nazi Germany during World War II.

One repost featured an image of U.S. Army paratroopers and stated: “A plane full of uniformed antifa, circa 1944,” referencing Allied forces involved in the D-Day invasion.

The Soviets were anti-Nazi as well, and made them look amateur hour in terms of the genocide count.

Besides that, the Rat party is now open arms with National Socialists.

That would be dandy, if "Antifa" actually signified people who opposed fascism. They don't.

I see this sentiment oft repeated on reddit and twitter. I don't think anyone is convinced by the antifa freaks.
