WASHINGTON -- FBI Director Chris Wray told lawmakers Thursday that antifa is an ideology, not an organization, delivering testimony that puts him at odds with President Donald Trump, who has said he would designate it a terror group.

Hours after the hearing, Trump took to Twitter to chastise his FBI director for his statements on antifa and on Russian election interference, two themes that dominated a congressional hearing on threats to the American homeland.

Referring to antifa, the president wrote: "And I look at them as a bunch of well funded ANARCHISTS & THUGS who are protected because the Comey/Mueller inspired FBI is simply unable, or unwilling, to find their funding source, and allows them to get away with "murder". LAW & ORDER!"

I'm sure Trump's twitter repsonse will be reasonable and well thought out.

He's right.
I expect he'll get fired soon.

Yup.
I am also scared because now the Fed's must be under extreme pressure to create an 'antifa' gang after the fact. Any day now I expect the story of a 'bust' with a fancy self-aggrandizing press release on how they took terrorists off the street...when you dig deeper its a bunch of people who met at a coffee shop and decided to become street medics or something. Talking about carrying rubbing alcohol = molotov cocktails

Antifa's well-funded? Well I really need an RTX 3080 to do.. uh.. Antifa stuff. Come on, Soros, step up!

Every time I hear somebody talk about "Antifa" as a group, my only response is "can you prove to me that they even exist?!?" and the answer is always "no", or more specifically "no, because deep state coverup" or something equally stupid.

I wonder what it would take for the right to realize this instead of blindly trying to pin Antifa on one person/organization so they can arrest, have a show trial, and jail them, then declare "Antifa defeated, MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!"

We've been playing nice with these idiots for way too long.

Whenever, Biden gets into office and the Dems take the Senate just go full bore with it. They're not worth listening to as an opposition or anything.

How much taxpayer money, how many high salaries, how many man hours were required to determine a concept that is literally in the name of the purported ideology? lol, America.

Was the antifa movement never widespread in the US? It's weird how the fbi director talks about it as if it's a recent revelation.

Any time they refer to antifa they should have to say the full "anti-fascist."

It wouldn't really change anything but I want to hear Trump and his supporters talk about those damn anti-fascists and how anti-fascism is anti-America instead of vaguely hiding their bullshit behind Ann Tifa like it's a foreign word or name.

Wray is a Trump appointee. I consider this a win when the alternative is not only people falling in line behind what Trump want but people to aggressively execute his desires like Barr or the Postmaster General.

It's a safe state of affairs when people just doing their job become part of the resistance.

Like we've been saying for years

they don't want to hear that because it contradicts their alternative "facts"

I'm surprised it hasn't happened yet, but the "Antifa as an organisation" lie has been told so many times that I'm surprised that small scattered groups of young activists haven't gathered calling themselves Antifa. Hopefully this means the left leaning are smarter than this. Like, I'm ferociously anti-fascism ( you know, like a normal person), I vote Left leaning, and I hate racism, Trump, Brexit , all that stuff, but if someone outright asked me my political position, I wouldn't dream of saying "Oh, I'm antifa". I would say "My politics are left wing".

Meanwhile, you got idiots with guns patrolling Oregon looking for fire-breathing Antifa agents. Might as well be looking for Bigfoot.

Trumps base and fox news don't care. They need a boogeyman.
