President Trump declared Saturday he is considering labeling the militant anti-fascist movement antifa a terrorist organization.
"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)," Trump tweeted Saturday. "Would make it easier for police to do their job!"
It is a terrorist organization, but the government has no business labeling groups this way. There should be no special categories of favored and disfavored persons and groups.
I'd be interested in hearing how antiFA's activities fail to meet the definition of terrorism.
"the calculated use of violence (or the threat of violence) against civilians in order to attain goals that are political or religious or ideological in nature; this is done through intimidation or coercion or instilling fear"
