PRESIDENT Donald Trump has urged Democrat governors to call in the National Guard and for mayors to “get tough” after declaring Antifa a “terrorist organization.”
Trump’s comments came as he lay blame on the group for mass violence in America over the past several nights.
On Sunday, Trump tweeted: “Get tough Democrat Mayors and Governors. These people are ANARCHISTS. Call in our National Guard NOW. The World is watching and laughing at you and Sleepy Joe. Is this what America wants? NO!!!”
Just hours before, the president tweeted: “The United States of America will be designating ANTIFA as a Terrorist Organization.”
Antifa – short for “anti-fascist” – is a political protest movement known for their strong opposition to fascism and other extreme right-wing ideologies.
Trump’s announcement came amid a series of tweets about ongoing protests over the death of George Floyd.
