Breaking: Republicans Introduce Bill To Designate Antifa As Terrorist Organization


WASHINGTON–U.S. Senators Bill Cassidy, M.D. (R-LA) and Ted Cruz (R-TX) today introduced a resolution to the U.S. Senate condemning the violent acts carried out by members of Antifa and calling for the designation of the group as a domestic terrorist organization. 
“Antifa are terrorists, violent masked bullies who ‘fight fascism’ with actual fascism, protected by Liberal privilege,” said Dr. Cassidy. “Bullies get their way until someone says no. Elected officials must have courage, not cowardice, to prevent terror.”
“Antifa is a terrorist organization composed of hateful, intolerant radicals who pursue their extreme agenda through aggressive violence,” said Senator Cruz. “Time and time again their actions have demonstrated that their central purpose is to inflict harm on those who oppose their views. Like any terrorist organization they choose to pursue their political ends through violence, fear and intimidation. They must be stopped. I am proud to introduce this resolution with Senator Cassidy to properly identify what Antifa are: domestic terrorists.”
Recently, Antifa took to the streets, cloaked in black masks, and engaged in violent demonstrations on the streets of Portland, Oregon. Journalist Andy Ngo was hospitalized, others seriously injured as well after being attacked by members of the group.
The full text of the resolution is below.
RESOLUTION:
Title: Calling for the designation of Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization.
Whereas employees of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (referred to in this preamble as “ICE”) were subjected to doxxing and violent threats after their social media profiles, phone numbers, and home addresses were posted on the Internet by left wing activists;
Whereas according to the Wall Street Journal, an ICE officer was followed by left wing activists and “confronted when he went to pick up his daughter from summer camp”, and another “had his name and photo plastered on flyers outside his home accusing him of being part of the ‘Gestapo’”;
Whereas the ICE office in southwest Portland, Oregon, was shut down for days due to threats and occupation by Antifa members;
Whereas Rose City Antifa, an Antifa group founded in 2007 in Portland, Oregon, explicitly rejects the authority of law enforcement officers in the United States, and Federal, State, and local governments, to protect free speech and stop acts of violence;
Whereas Rose City Antifa rejects the civil treatment of individuals the group labels as fascists, stating: “We can’t just argue against them; we have to prevent them from organizing by any means necessary.”; and
Whereas there is no place for violence in the discourse between people in the United States, or in any civil society, because the United States is a place where there is a diversity of ideas and opinions: Now, therefore, be it
Resolved, That the Senate—
(1) calls for the groups and organizations across the country who act under the banner of Antifa to be designated as domestic terrorist organizations;
(2) unequivocally condemns the violent actions of Antifa groups as unacceptable acts for anyone in the United States;
(3) expresses the need for the peaceful communication of varied ideas in the United States;
(4) urges any group or organizations in the United States to voice its opinions without using violence or threatening the health, safety, or well-being of any other persons, groups, or law enforcement officers in the United States; and
(5) calls upon the Federal Government to redouble its efforts, using all available and appropriate tools, to combat the spread of all forms of domestic terrorism, including White supremacist terrorism.

Shifty Schiff May Have A Celebrity Challenger – Fox’s California Doctor Should Make Adam Nervous

I’m sure you haven’t forgotten about Shifty Schiff. Adam Schiff made a mockery of impeachment during the entire inquiry process. He denied basic rules of fairness, while making up a false version of Trump’s phone call with Ukraine. It seems like he did everything in his power to turn impeachment into a circus. But it looks like he’s already in deep trouble. He and the rest of the House Democrats must have forgotten about the upcoming elections. Must be, because why did they ram through such an unpopular, one-sided impeachment? And now, Schiff himself could lose his coveted seat to a man many people know well. From The Hill: The next prescription “Dr. Drew” Pinsky writes might be for his own congressional run in Southern California… “I was watching all the impeachment proceedings and I was going, ‘oh my God, our Congress is tied up and we’re dying out here in California. What are these people doing?’ ” Pinsky, 61, says he soon realized he’s lived for ...

After Squad Member Ilhan Omar Defends Iran – She Pledges To Help Them Stop President Trump

Unlike Obama, President Trump is taking strong actions against our enemies. He struck back after Iran threatened our people and our allies in the Middle East. How has the left responded? Did they thank him for preventing another Benghazi? Were they encouraged that a top Iranian leader is gone? Nope! They actually seemed  upset  that American lives were spared! In fact, Democrat congresswoman Ilhan Omar is taking it even further. She made a wild claim about why Trump is defending our people. And has made one sick promise. From Washington Examiner: Rep. Ilhan Omar accused President Trump of trying to create a “distraction” by killing Gen. Qassem Soleimani in an attempt to ignite a war with Iran… “Real question is, will those with congressional authority step in and stop him? I know I will.” Wow. Omar accused Trump of trying to create a distraction. She even said she’d use her “congressional authority” to stop Trump. Um, excuse, Omar...
