President Donald Trump has designated the left-wing activist group ANTIFA as a terrorist organization.
The move comes a week after the assassination of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk.
“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,” said Trump on Truth Social Wednesday evening. “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!”
