BREITBART -- President Donald Trump announced on Wednesday that his administration would be designating the far-left radical activist group Antifa a terrorist organization.
The president announced the move on his platform, Truth Social.
“I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION,” Trump wrote. “I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
A White House official later told CNN that the designation is “just one of many actions the president will take to address left wing organizations that fuel political violence.”
