Op-ed | Is antifa really a domestic terrorist group?
Donald Trump labeled antifa as a domestic terrorist group, citing NSPM-7 which claims left-wing activists engage in organized political violence. The article argues that antifa is a decentralized network opposing fascism and that the administration's narrative excludes other violent incidents, such as the Capitol attack. It also notes Trump's previous refusal to condemn white supremacists at the 2017 Charlottesville rally.
