Maybe Antifa should rebrand and use their proper name. [View all]

I hear Karoline Leavitt and others throw around the name Antifa like they're Contra rebels or Sandinistas. Most people don't know what their cause is, just that they're fighting the government and said to be violent. They're freely associating Antifa as a hate group attacking innocent public servants.

It would be altogether different if republicans had to cry that the Anti Fascists have taken over the democratic party. Make them wear their swastikas openly.
