“Antifa are terrorists, violent masked bullies who ‘fight fascism’ with actual fascism, protected by Liberal privilege,” Sen. Bill Cassidy (R-La.) The senators also pointed to conservative journalist Andy Ngo, who in June was left bloodied by antifa activists in Portland, Ore.Conservatives have said antifa activists are a dangerous force. And this is why the senators’ resolution and other efforts to label antifa activists as terrorists raises concerns.

The ADL said antifa activists’ violent tactics are wrong, but that antifa and white supremacists are not equivalent.
