8:53Now PlayingFor years, Republicans have sworn that “ANTIFA is a terrorist organization.” So when a top FBI counterterrorism official was dragged before Congress, Democrats asked the obvious question:
Name one antifa terrorist group.
Where are they based?
The FBI couldn’t answer.
In this video, I break down the hearing where the entire right-wing “antifa terror” narrative ran straight into reality. Under oath, the FBI admitted they don’t have a list of antifa terrorist organizations, no headquarters, no designated groups — because “antifa” isn’t an organization like ISIS or Al Qaeda. It’s a loose, decentralized label for people who are… anti-fascist.
We’ll walk through:
-How Republicans have turned “antifa” into a catch-all slur for any protest they don’t like
-Why the FBI can’t back up the claim that antifa is some organized terror network
-How this propaganda helps downplay real domestic terrorism from Proud Boys, Oath Keepers, and white supremacist groups
-The dangerous endgame: using fake “antifa terror” to justify surveillance, crackdowns on protest, and criminalizing leftist organizing
-This hearing pulled the mask off. The GOP isn’t chasing terrorists — they’re inventing a left-wing boogeyman to balance out the very real threat from their own base.
