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.

After Romney Pledges To Vote For Witnesses – His Own State Of Utah Promotes Bill To Recall Their Senator

What are we going to do with Mitt Romney? You probably remember his performance in the 2012 Election. Despite having everything going for him, he could not defeat Barack Obama. Maybe Mitt is steamed that Donald Trump did what he could not: take the White House back for Republicans. Romney refused to back Trump in 2016—leading many to call him a NeverTrumper. But he changed his tune when he ran for a Utah Senate seat. Trump endorsed the man, ensuring his victory. Soon after, Romney flip-flopped again. He even wanted more witnesses in the Senate impeachment trial. Oh, really, Romney? Now, it looks like the people are Utah are hopping mad. From NOQ Report: Mitt Romney is expected to vote for witnesses in the impeachment trial today. He does so against the will of the party and a majority of people in Utah, which he was sent to Washington DC to represent… A new bill being promoted by Utah Representative Steve Quinn, H.B. 217, would establish a mechanism thr...

After Virginia Governor Plans To Grab Guns – 2nd Amendment Leaders Send In The Reinforcements

A battle is raging right in the heart of the country—right where our nation began. Virginia was once a tried-and-true conservative state. But thanks to it’s close proximity to the D.C. swamp, it has been flipped. The state now suffers under a Democrat majority. And their governor, Blackface Northam, is pushing some of the most radical gun control laws we’ve ever seen. Perhaps the worst part is a gun confiscation program that will rip guns from Americans without due process. Northam wants to disarm people who haven’t even been charged with a crime. Right out of Stalin’s playbook. But Virginia residents aren’t taking this lying down. They are planning a resistance. From Breitbart: The National Rifle Association (NRA) is urging its members to attend a January 13, 2020, Senate meeting and let their pro-gun voices be heard… NRA Grassroots is inviting members and supporters to come to the Capitol to meet with their lawmakers to share the facts about the Northam...

After Pelosi Uses Codeword To Stop President Trump – Donald Gives Her A ‘Disproportionate’ Notice

After Trump took out one of the world’s most dangerous men, Pelosi and her Democrats immediately moved to condemn him. Shocking I know. Shouldn’t they be  happy  a this guy is dead? Apparently not. Worse still, they used a common anti-Israel code word when criticizing the one man keeping us safe. Pelosi considers Trump’s response to the loss of hundreds of Americans—and stopping future attacks—“disproportionate.” But this is what the word really means to the left. From The Right Scoop: The code word used by people who hate Israel is “disproportionate.” They use this term, so subjective as to be meaningless, as a shoehorn to turn any action that involves the nation into an indictment against it, and a paean to its enemies. Nancy Pelosi, who is somehow Speaker of the House again at age 203, used the phrase this morning as her fig leaf for supporting Iran against the United States. I know, I know. As a sane person, you wonder why Pelosi would criticize a...
