President Trump tweeted that the US will designate Antifa as a terrorist organization, even though the US government has no existing legal authority to label a wholly domestic group in the manner it currently designates foreign terrorist organizations.

President Donald Trump tweeted Sunday that the United States will designate Antifa as a terrorist organization, even though the US government has no existing legal authority to label a wholly domestic group in the manner it currently designates foreign terrorist organizations.

Current and former government officials say it would be unconstitutional for the US government to proscribe First Amendment-protected activity inside the US based on simple ideology. US law allows terrorist designations for foreign groups since belonging to those groups doesn't enjoy the same protections.

Read this and for some reason the term, FalseFlag operations, popped into my mind. Don't know why but is the darnedest thing. Go figure. Just saying. Don't mind me. smh

While he hides in a bunker😩

🙄

Time for domestic terrorism unit! No?

لك النصر ترامب رغم انف الحزب الديمقراطي وبايدن؟!

These are anti-fascist fighting the fascists in the White House. The fascists in the White House are the terrorists!

Quit fanning the flames, with your worthless, air-stealing 'news'.

Bad news! Trump just started the 2nd civil war. Only the WH belongs to the rebels! A “war on terror”, against the organized political left. While organized hate groups continue to operate (bad mind) outside the law.

Are you anti-America? Sounds like you support and defend antifa! Communist News Network!!

I predict white Trump supremacy doing what this President told them to do: Liberate Democratic states. Not fake news. He said it right on TV. Minnesota controlled without his help

You will see

Sorry terror groups work covertly and attack unbenounced! ANTIFA reacts to being wronged and counters!

Eff Antifa

Cnn loves antifa

The Propaganda arm of the Left defending the terror arm of the left

Hacks

Diversion

Include the KKK then! FOH!

Chris Cuomo and Dom Lemons has openly supported the terrorist group ANTIFA. They have approved the beatings and fires done by this hate group by doing so. They are now keeping their mouths shut on this subject by focusing on driving the hate mongering riots. They are cowards!

Good he should cuz they are❗️and here’s their boss

He may have no legal authority, but us sane folks know that Antifa is a terrorist organization, just like we know CNN is fake news and James Comey is a bad cop! Nuff said.

TrumpLandslideVictory2020

realDonaldTrump When our grandfathers fought fascists in WW2 they would never have believed that someday we'd have an American President labeling those who oppose fascism as 'terrorists'. ResignNowTrump

They are going after them. You’ll see

So, the media and cnn would rather antifa not be labeled a terrorist organization? Come on, enough with the social engineering and lies. What has happened to journalistic pride.

Antifa ENCOURAGES VIOLENCE.

He just shoots his mouth off to say what his cultist want to hear. They don't know facts at all and just believe him and his men and run around social media parroting. Can't explain anything because they know it all😜😩

Antifa is an extension of CNN.

ObamaGate LockHimUp

Also, Antifa is mythical. Where are their headquarters? Who are their leaders? Yep.

trumps entire presidency has been about: Deny Deflect Distract The latest is the protests are all about a terrorists group. Not the American ppl furious at his incompetent leadership. Not the 40 M unemployed because of him Not a pandemic destroying the country that he denied

When does he declare the press as an enemy of the people and suspend elections.

but the democraps wanted to make the nra one and they never hurt or damaged any property

Every person Trump sees looting is automatically labeled as antifa by Trump. How could he even know? He doesn’t. He’s just trying to give them a bad name so his sheep will think they’re bad. In reality, they are the ones fighting white nationalism, hands on.

Another example of trump losing his mind

Just remember, the NRA is the real terrorist organization.

CNN is tainted. For sure

Who is a Bigger Terrorist than the White Man who Founded America on Rape,Murder, and Free African Slave Labor for Money and Profits for Whites Only.And who Massacred all of NativeIndians,Stole their Land and Renamed it America.This is what gave Birth to Racism and Discrimination

TU NACIÓN SUFRE ALLUDA A PUERTO RICO Y DIOS TE ALLUDARA BENDICIONES TU SOLUCIÓN

CNN is member of Antifa?

Psst: Not that anyone’s listening; but our website is if you’re interested.

What about the KKK?

Really got nothing to promote. Follow me, I follow back.

They r communist anarchist ani goverment. They pretty much call anybody that doesnt vote democrat a NAZI and use violence. They have been around before Trump. THE MEDIA AND HOLLYWOOD DEFEND THEM. Resposible for violence and riotings. Organized and funded with flag.

Many kinds of terrorists with different motives

Marilyn31682963

Went to the bunker to take a crash course in the meaning of the word GOVERNMENT. TRump was not just hiding or cowering! Although, still not apparent that he grasps even the slightest gist.

Quickieleaks Imagine a Racist wanting to ban a Group that fights Racism 😏

Antifa = Anti Facists. Just for those who obviously don’t know.

I think it's entirely appropriate the president does that but throw in few of right wing nuts too organized groups

Ask the president what about this BLACK LIVES America is not SAVE for PEOPLE WITH COLOR we’re human as the white you came to Africa and took this people as slaves now they’re citizens why do u treat them like animals. Africais ready for all BLACKS COME HOME PEOPLE WITH COLOR

Your titles literally sound like satire.

I’m not saying that they aren’t but you say white supremacist are domestic terrorists, so this is hypocritical.

There he goes again...playing to his base. Wretched 👺

WhoBroughtRocks Do some real reporting for once.

He's got a pen and a phone. They were good enough for DACA.

Then he acknowledges FASCISM IS ALIVE & WELL.

It's for his CULT members to start hurting people. What a BunkerBoy BUNKERPRESIDENT

But Nazi's and KKK is okay. What a Moron

They are a terrorist outfit. What somet needs to do something

Is it unconstitutional for the President to designate an obvious domestic terrorist organization a terrorist organization? CNN, working for the DNC since day one.

Is your front door fixed yet?

_ReaalAmerican_ Just because they are an American organization doesn't mean they can't be terrorists.

Antifa is not even a group officially

They are terrorists!😡🤬

What you have did in HongKong,it appears to yourself. Now eye for eye.

America, like many other countries, has always had its share of ignorant people. But now we have leadership that promotes ignorant, selfish behavior as the social norm, and any consideration for others to be a sign of weakness. I'm afraid this will be the case for my lifetime.

Trump 2020🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Best president ever 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

The manner in which any organization works, there is a social justice the government should act apart from existing legal authority!!! Otherwise the law will become weak and leads to unrest!!!

What you have did in HongKong,it appears to yourself. Now eye for eye.

Maybe he knows they are not wholly domestic.

Terrorism: noun; the unlawful use of violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.

Trump making a scapegoat of the anti-Trump organisation is highly understandable The looting has started, when will the shooting start ?

Is anyone surprised it took a few hours to stick up for antifa? I’m not.

Never acknowledged KKK as a terrorist group. Just fine people, right!

Antifa is a terrorist organization must be eliminated.

Btw maga campaign.... much to no prevail, brace for change this nov

You're ridiculous... ANTIFA IS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. What's sad and concerning is..... that you know it.

What a hot air merchant Horrid Trump is !!! History books will document these times and show Trump as a complete fool.

When will Trump declare right wing groups terrorist organizations They have more of a history of terrorism than Antifa. It is obvious that Trump agrees with right wing terrorist groups.

It may not be a domestic group!!

Y’all ain’t tired reporting on all ignorance of this clown

What about the KKK man ?

I label trump and the GOP as ignorant!!!

So the vets of the greatest generation were the original ANTIFA who fought fascists in WW2. Does trump mean vets are a terrorist organization

Antifa hand sanitizer?

They are a domestic group they cannot be declared terorist. Where is the other federal politicians. Why are you silent you are standing by just like the other three police in Miniapolis. You are complicit to Trumps tweets. Speak up Democrats

GOOD!!!!

Why not Barack Obama did the same thing to the Tea Party..

Turn off CNN if you want to see what is really happening - protestors are out of control and CNN will not report it

Huh? So why did San Francisco label the NRA a terrorist organization then when they're not?

Kinda like the KKK ?

I can't breathe!

Yes!!!! Domestic terrorists!!!

👎🏾

Where is our black leadership? Trump and the Media can't designate black leadership.

CNN is worse than antifa antifaterrorists

Ohhhhh big scary trump

Antifa at work paying blacks to help them set up barricades and stack bricks for the upcoming riots.. er.. I mean... protests...

CNNSucks

CNN’s headlines sound so dumb sometimes. They try so hard to make a good Trump decision sound bad. It just gets old.

ANTIFA is the military arm of the deep-state and radical left, trying to take down an administration that will soon expose the establishment to the world. Propaganda CNN providing cover. Hope you enjoy the attempted coup. It won’t end in your favor

Does Antifa officially exist to be able to ban it ?

Love seeing you 🤡🤡 defend ANTIFA.

Start with the kkk first slag.

Trump is fascist, so yes we are anti fascist

realDonaldTrump designating AntifaTerrorist while calling White Supremacists in Charlottesville 'very fine people' proves, once again, that the racism seething from this President is purposeful, calculating, & disgusting.

While he's at it can he do the same for the KKK and all the white supremacy organizations

Make it up as he goes along. Can’t do it but “acting tough” for his MAGA base. STFU.

God you just enlighten me Trump

Now CNN will love antifa. Can’t wait to see all the warm hearted stories about antifa on CNN.

realDonaldTrump is a terrorist organization. He’s caused more civil unrest, economic damage, division and loss of life than Antifa. Trump is America’s biggest threat.

They are burning down the historic St John’s Church. Every president since James Madison had attended that church on his inaugural day. It is time for all our political leaders to give the speech the Atlanta Mayor gave. This is not about George Flynn, GO HOME.

Wholly domestic? Antifa was all over Barcelona rioting during the Catalonia peaceful protests as well

Why are the police instigating violence They are THE PROBLEM! BLACK_LIVES_MATTER

instead of drafting act which can ease the tension, he creating more tension

Nothing to see folks.. just move along.

And people saying that cnn is defending antman or whatever they call themselves they are just being lazy now. The fact is trump is trying to blame a 'left wing' org for the protest and violence and it has nothing to do with the issue! Be a fucking leader

Antifa = The Anti Fascists That is about 340 million terrorists.

Good move. You need to support the president and stop supporting the domestic terrorists

Trump’s threat of labeling ANTIFA as a terrorist organization, is another measure being use to limit “ A BLACK VOICE,” in this country. This was done to the Black Panther party in late 1968-69. Trump has not extended this same type of labeling to white supremist/nationality.

He’s just calling it what it is

🤣🤣😂😂😂🤣😂it is not a gang , you fool

And, that’s not like a real organization

Well they are a terrorist organization, just like you are fake news

The 1999 Seattle WTO riots, authored by European anarchists, were the genesis of Antifa & cells in Seattle, Portland, Berkley & God knows where else in the country are their progeny. All the terrorists drink from the same cup & see America as their common enemy.

supporting Terrorsits. Big Surprise!

Gee. I wonder who owns cnn. Leave it to left wing media to support these idiots. Almost every time there’s a peaceful protest , antifa shows up and terrorizes and destroys the community leaving the innocent to clean up the mess.

Another blast of FAKE NEWS. (Antifa is international, fyi)

HE IS ONLY ABOUT AN EGO TRIP OF LOOK WHAT I DID ... SO SAD, SO VERY SAD..

Antifa is international.

45......DAMN! ☹️

CNN on the record supporting Antifa.

Plop ANTIFA right next to the KKK...

While waiting for paycheck to paycheck you can earn more than $8500 in a week, you don’t send money to anyone, ask me how. Email:

Fake news..turn off CNN to save your mental health..Antifa is not designated as domestic terrorist organization..Antifa is a terrorist group..

realDonaldTrump THE NRA AND GOP ARE DOMESTIC TERRORIST ORGANIZATIONS

Trump 2020

Trump must RESIGN! IMMEDIATELY.

So just hot air signifying nothing Trying to make it look like he knows What he’s doing ? About white

All he has really done is now make them a focus of attention ...another distraction. I suspect most of those protesting had never heard of them, until now.

CNN is going to fight this with their blood... 😂😂😂

Sounds to me antifa was setup.

Nothing new here ...You make no bones by Supporting this evil AntifaTerroristOrganization that has destroyed business, property, life all over America Finally, the AmericanPeople have proof of who you are Shame! JournalismIsDead

rappublicist

Antifa iis an international group that operates in the USA and elsewhere. It is not domestic terror but intl

Hey Donald, look in the mirror and label whomever you see.

rappublicist

Yes the government has that authority is FakeNews

AS USUAL TRUMP IS DIVIDING THE COUNTRY AS PER ORDERS OF PUTIN!!! TRUMP OWES A LOT OF MONEY TO PUTIN!!!!!

Antifa Republicans or Democrats?

Yet he’s ok with the KKK.

And the Left comes to their defense. Typical. The Left hates it when you take away one of their terror tools.

If Antifa has spread internationally, can it be declared an international terrorist organization?

How about the GOP ,Putin

Code “ all blacks are terrorists “. Remember news media outlets that you helped him get elected. How? By not calling him out when he lies.

Long overdue.

FMAGA

And you are hand in hand with them, spreading the hate for ratings and money

This will allow the Fed gov to go after the people who fund Antifa with RICO laws. Antifa rioters will now face federal charges when arrested. No Dem leaders have condemned the rioters. Watch next they will all be defending Antifa.

Here's why:

Good

I don't know what ' Antifa' is but I have watched over and again, MAGA fringe supporters with their bazookas and automatic warfare gathering and threatening Americans, without repercussions.

That’s because Fredo Cuomo and Dumb Lemon support ANTIFA. They’ve been designated!

Is it all what comes to your mind?

Antifa isn’t wholly domestic so NP

Antifa are not just a US domestic terror group. They exist all over the world, even in Canada.

I just hope to see all these people in line to vote come Election Day. You have a right to vote all of this away! Don’t under estimate the power of a vote. 🇺🇸 vote vote2020

ANTIFA is worldwide, so there you go, Einstein.

Give them hell Trump!!!

The dumbest president in America.

He should send a letter to Antify headquarters in Nowhere, U.S.A.

WWII vets were the original Antifa.

Watching cnn defend ANTIFA.

Well he should because this is insanity.

So what should they be called angels? We see through the whole noise and propaganda. The liberal left wants to destroy America, they want anarchy they want poverty they want to control the lives of people. This will never happen. God won’t allow it. The mainstream media are evil

Here’s a couple guys Antifa fought against during World War 2. Now they are the fighting the FASCIST in the White House.

Trump is so stupid and he should be shut out of Twitter

Antifa stands for ANTI-Fascism so, they are American PATRIOTS as far as I'm concerned ;-)~ It's DonTheCon who is an enemy of our country !

Stop condoning terrorists and anarchists Communist News Network - you are part of the problem. Shame on you for being so unpatriotic. You rather condone evil CCPChina! AntifaDomesticTerrorists

CNNisTheVirus

CNN, you are Antifa

And so it begins.The defending of a terrorist organization!

Let him wear a crown and think he’s a king the toddler will be happy then 🙄🙄😂

Are you kidding? These people are violent terrorists and SHOULD be labelled as such!Thank God we have a President who isn’t afraid to tell it like it is! Why is CNN afraid to tell the truth? CNNFakeNews

Does he know ANTIFA stands for ' antifascists '? He's the fascist. Will he name his white supremacist hate groups as domestic terrorist organizations? He is a domestic terrorist.

First time for anything

this is the real problem

Declared war on his own people. Smh

And, CNN once again defying the president in order to incite chaos...

It’s not like Trump understands how any of this is supposed to work.

One of the officers in the George Floyd case must have called an ambulance. They clearly thought he was on drugs because that is one of the comments Derek Chauvin made. We need to see their body cam footage.

Make racism a CRIME! It’s the only way!

My Mom and Dad served in WWII in Europe. They were anti Fascists. To hell with Trump.

Law 🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

He just does as he pleases...or just thinks he can. Maybe he needs to see a list (with pictures please) on what a president can and cannot do

Is he going to designate the KKK also

Antifa is NOT inciting riots! Proud Boys, Boogaloo Bois, far right...THEY are paid by YOU to incite riots and divide the country...you want a race war. realDonaldTrump gop

And he's going after Twitter, too

HoldLawEnforcementAccountable We are long overdue for change when it comes to the rights of minorities. Make your voice heard. Demand legislation to hold law enforcement accountable. It’s time for real Justice for all.

Trump as potus is steering USA towards shithole status!

CNN went from supporting to China to domestic terrorism

So CNN is back to maki g excuses for terrorists

Label the KKK as a terrorist group too.

Good! Antifa is an evil organization!

This is his response Pathetic.

CNN is supporting Antifa

spreading fake news again

I can imagine Hitler, Mussolini, Stalin & others Trump idolizes labelling similar groups opposing their policies in much the same way. It's sad that such a group exists here & now because of Trump supporting fascists and other 'very fine people.'

Next few months will be interesting. Far-Right Republicans don't seem to understand what Fascism really is and why Americans would be totally against it. TrumpResignNow TwistyTrump HistoryRepeats ItWillGetWorse

And should be labeled promoters of terrorism.

Trump has never made decisions based on law. He thinks if an idea pops in his head he can do it.

Just designated. Lol. Perhaps XiNN will be too

Talking loud and saying nothing

When he is dead, I will dance.

Because realDonaldTrump is a FASCIST he will silence opposition by any means possible including potus Executive orders to silence the press EnemyOfThePeople Remember Germany EnemyOfDemocracy LockHimUp VoteBlueToSaveAmerica

PwesidentTwump calls anti fascists terrorist. Big surprise.

Actually they do, and you have zero authority to spread so much BS. Hacks.

So now anyone providing bail to terrorists will be added into the terrorist watch list and could face increased govt scrutiny? Isn't that what communists WANT?

Who cares what Trump does, soon the next President will just scrap anything Trump has done in the past 4 years. Trump is wasting his time and continues to be a joke around the world.

Stfu

He makes stuff up as he goes - and has the collassal gall to accuse others of spewing fake news .... which is also fake and unsubstantiated. (Yes, news broadcasts ave made errors, but typically retract/correct them - except for Fox News who just follows the script.)

p_von_eulenburg There is sufficient data on the involvement of so called Antifa in Syria, partnering with PKK (an actual terrorist organization)

They are and that's it, too bad :)

ScottAdamsSays what sort of Loserthink would fit in the headline?

Trump is pissing into the wind as usual.

Since he cant read, and probably the same for his advisors. He wouldnt know this

F.U. Trump!!!!

What about the white supremacist, neo-Nazi and the KKK

CNN calling Antifa a wholly domestic group 🤦

It’s not just domestic

Aren't their enough Americans in jail, where is the money coming from to incarcerate half the country.

It’s not even an organization, so....

Of course the Racist-in-Chief would ban an anti-Fascist group.

It can only change if police are trained to be polite no matter what, they have to be as polite as the people you're speaking to otherwise it will never change it's down to the behaviour of the police.

What if floydgeorge was WHITE? Would his death even make the news? How do we know the policeman was racist? Maybe he was just a brutal psycho? People are overreacting here BIG TIME!

Obama suspended the writ of Habeus Corpus Make sure you thank Obama!

ETA sounds familiar FakeNews

Didn’t take CNN long to stand up for antifa

Let’s start with the fact that it’s not even an organization...

This coming from White House, where the most dangerous domestic terrorist the 🇺🇸 has ever had to Endure resides.

But the arm militia are very good people and deserve a meal of honor! Got it! White privilege sack of shit!

Love to see the SEWER RAT trying to get a hold of Antifa. Someone tell him it's an idea?

Ok, if the US has no legal authority to do this, why does Trump say he is going to do it? Just to stir the pot More distractions

Waiting to see trump tweet that this protests are also CHINA’S fault!! TrumpLiesAmericansDie whitedevil TrumpDepression TrumpIsALaughingStock TrumpDeathToll100K TrumpMeltdown TrumpIsANationalDisgrace Anonymousisback anonymus Anonymous

TDS is so powerful that a so called News Organization infected with it will defend the rights of a terrorist organization. 😉

Plus, you know, it's not a 'group.'

Trump himself know he is incapable

I mean they use force to get what they want and to suppress opposing views. Is that not terrorism?

Accuracy has never been a hallmark trait of cnn

So tacitly supports ANTIFA Even after that horrible display of madness at your Atlanta office

It’s a distraction the con man doesn’t want the coronavirus on the front pages. Time to remind everyone that the American death toll is now 105,000 so far. Infection rates are climbing in many states again.

CNN in its usual support of anarchy.

Why don't you add the Democratic Party too? This way, you and your fellow travellers will be forever in power

If AntiFa is designated a terrorist group then that same designation should apply to the KKK and all far right White Power groups too.

LMAO, funded by outsiders=domestic terrorism.

And we’re supposed to believe the MAGAS are afraid of antifa? They’re terrorized by some anti fascist baristas?

The Insurrection Act of 1807 proves you wrong. When you cross state lines to incite violence against the state - that's A FEDERAL CRIME. When you're PAID TO DO SO, that's a FEDERAL CRIME.

So cnn still aiding and a-bedding

Leave it to to provide cover for terrorists.

My sincere condolences to your ratings cnn.
