What is Antifa, the movement Donald Trump accuses of instigating violence during the George Floyd protests?

United States President Donald Trump has announced he will label Antifa a terrorist organisation, blaming the far-left movement for the recentAlongside many peaceful protesters seeking justice for George Floyd, an unarmed black man who was killed by police last week, scuffles between demonstrators and police turned violent as demonstrations spread across the country.

The movement does not have a leader or governing body, a formal membership process, or a unified ideology.Fire and tear gas outside the White House on sixth day of protests following George Floyd’s death in custody As part of this belief, their staple action is turning up to counter-protest far-right rallies, such as during the 2017 Charlottesville protests.Self-identified members can be difficult to differentiate from other protesters, but some have been known to carry Antifa flags and many wear all black.

As protesters took to the White House lawns on Monday, Dr Roose told said Mr Trump was now attempting to divert attention away from the original cause of the unrest. On Sunday, Mr Trump said the violence was “being led by Antifa and other radical left-wing groups who are terrorising the innocent, destroying jobs, hurting businesses and burning down buildings”, but provided no evidence for his assertion.

It's pretty clear they are quite involved.

SBS and ABC clearly choosing sides here, naturally the wrong side

'Experts' 🙄

I only heard about antifa through trump he really is promoting this group. Its probably 1 guy in his basement on his computer. Wiping dirt from his glasses every 15 minutes. 🤔

SBS supports terrorism

Here's a little light reading for you, Antifa was a made up threat & doesn't exist.

Melbourne Antifa attacked Andrew bolt a few years ago.

I can't read your article. I just know you will pretend they are all good and are just a small group. You will treat them fair and unbiased. They are Nazi's. Media never shows them. But twitter and you tube show them They burned colleges that had conservative speaker's

Bull lay blame else where -Give Donnie a violin

BunkerBoy the coward wil always find someone to blame.What a pathetic man!

Well its simple really. There's footage of protestors fighting off big guys in MAGA hats with US flags. I think AJEnglish has it PLUS confirmed by Minnea. Mayor

We are the news. Everyone is filming, we can see who Antifa is. We don't need experts when we can SEE.

Are you joking sbs

Maybe you should all listen to this.

Experts? Love how the media refuse to acknowledge the leftist AntifaTerrorists - resorting to high quality racist journalism of “orange man bad”

Aren’t we all against fascism. We won a war to beat it. Why is this even a question now. Who wants fascism to come back. I certainly don’t, and I don’t think the jewish community do either.

Experts? What experts? Name the experts. Stop pushing the FakeNews false flag BS. ANTIFA and Soros up to their necks in it.

I haven’t received my check from George Soros yet so I can’t get involved in fighting fascism

What are you saying SBS? Are you suggesting the black people are responsible for all of the violence?

Antifa are well known for being a violent protest group. Ffs you peddled the Russia myth as well. Can we hve some unbiased reporting for once? Condemn antifa and white supremacists.

They incite the violence and damage. They are not the protesters they subvert the protests to create havoc and maximum economic damage. They are a militant Communist movement.

Am guessing he did this hiding in his bunker

Every American is related to someone who fought in WWII - the original AntiFa. OK, maybe not the draft-dodging First Family.

--- D A M A G E C O N T R O L ---

The SBS, presenting complete lies as 'news' every day.

It’s no longer a protest but superseded by a demonstration of anarchy, violence & hatred hurting the most vulnerable, black and white.

Ask those american one question, do they want to exchange to china?ccp support them very much, and then Hong Kong people can exchange to America, both of them can get their supporter now, this is one way to make everyone happy, would you guy want that?

Lol experts unclear... What experts exactly? The same morons who vet everything Trump states but ignores everything else?

Trump is used to blame someone. This time is Antifa.

Why do we waste taxpayers money on this garbage? You're experts says it's unclear how heavily involved ANTIFA is, that is just an admission that they have no bloody idea if they are or not. A lot of law enforcement and government officials tend to disagree with your 'experts'

Antifa is a co-ordinated movement funded by Soros. Do some real reporting. FakeNews

Any old bullshit but the truth.

If you're not anti fascist you are a fascist. Simple.

Trump is a fascist. Hence his antifa sentiment. How many people have been killed by antifa?

Wouldn't say the have lead them but they have definitely turned up & being the anti-social, anti-democracy , anti-west , anti-rational , scumbags they are, they have caused violence . Its their MO

And old bullshit but the truth.

Have you figured out what's happening yet?

No evidence supporting Antifa presence at all!

Trump pretty much admitted he is a fascist doing this! QAnon is a cult!!

The movement is not one organisation, it is a collective of organisations all with the same central idea, to resist white supremacy and fascism wherever it rears its ugly head. The people looting and starting fires here are not that, but desperate black people and some anarchists

Send the bill to China. If they could advice and handle the Virus earlier, we won’t suffer. What I know is Dr LiWenliang has advised the public in early Nov that the Virus could spread human to human. We will never trust CCP anymore. Stand with HongKong

Interesting. This is always Trump's target; from the article: 'Antifa, short for anti-fascist, is an umbrella term used to define various far-left groups who stand together in opposition to proponents of the far-right...'

Yoda has today been declared a Terrorist.

trumps been stupidly trying to get the black vote for 3 years while shitting on the people that got him elected, it's really pathetic

MAGA

As usual, he finds someone to blame

Civil rights movements 'being hijacked by Antifa types' | Sky News AustraliaAustralian National University’s Mark Kenny says “what’s really concerning, particularly for the longstanding civil rights organisations, is the possibility that all of this is being hijacked by Antifa types” as violent demonstrations continue across the US.\n\n“They are intent on just making mayhem and upsetting the status quo as much as they can,” Mr Kenny told Sky News.\n\nThe demonstrations broke out across the country following the death of unarmed black man, George Floyd, who was killed by police.\n\n“And of course in amongst all of those are the opportunists such as the street criminals who are on the margins of society and taking the opportunity to break things and steal,” Mr Kenny said.\n\n“It’s bringing out the worst on that side and the worst on the police side due to an egregious act of police brutality that resulted in death.\n\n“And the president, who could be showing leadership, is showing the precise opposite.” \n\nImage: AP\n markgkenny If they had arrested the police straight away. Riots would not happen. You reap what you sow. markgkenny Antifa types? Like the white guys waving nazi flags, burning buildings, inciting violence and hiding behind police in riot gear? markgkenny a political protest movement comprising autonomous groups affiliated by their militant opposition to fascism and other forms of extreme right-wing ideology. Didn’t we fight a war against fascism and win. Why are we having to do it again. Aren’t we against fascism.
