"This post should not be dismissed, because what it means is he will define just as they will define the public interest [regarding broadcasting licenses] they will define, what is Antifa? And they will go after everyone and everything that they put under that umbrella, even though it isn't an organization. It is a, in many ways, mythology. But it gives them, you know, a pretext to go after their political enemies"
"I think we owe it to the president, we owe it to the people around him to take him seriously, Axelrod said. He's been saying not just since the Kirk assassination, but before it, that he was gonna go after, say, George Soros because he said he was funding agitators. Axelrod said Trump's designation of Antifa as a terrorist organization will be used as justification to go after political foes:"
President Donald Trump designated Antifa as a terrorist organization in a Truth Social post from the U.K., calling Antifa "A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER" and promising to recommend investigations of its funders under the highest legal standards. Antifa is a decentralized collection of left-wing groups without a central organizational structure. The designation came amid controversy over a late-night show suspension after an erroneous claim about an alleged assassin and after a federal communications official threatened to pull a broadcaster's license. The designation raised concerns that it could be used as a pretext to broadly define Antifa and pursue political opponents and outlets labeled under that umbrella.
