Trump’s official tweet regarding AntiFa reads as follows:
Consideration is being given to declaring ANTIFA, the gutless Radical Left Wack Jobs who go around hitting (only non-fighters) people over the heads with baseball bats, a major Organization of Terror (along with MS-13 & others). Would make it easier for police to do their job!

In a statement, Sen. Cassidy denounced AntiFa as “bullies” who need to be stopped by elected officials:
“Antifa are terrorists, violent masked bullies who ‘fight fascism’ with actual fascism, protected by liberal privilege. Bullies get their way until someone says no. Elected officials must have courage, not cowardice, to prevent terror.”
Part of “The Resistance?”
After the election of Donald Trump, various left-leaning Americans vowed to “resist” the president and his policies. However, certain individuals have expressed ideas that liberal attempts to resist have backfired.
This analysis comes as the Democrat Party embraces various policies which many people view as radical. These policies include Medicare-for-All, a Green New Deal, and many others. Furthermore, certain members of the Democrat House caucus have called for abolishing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
