Trump official asked where Antifa is headquartered… He instantly PANICS

executive order of domestic terrorist. organization, Antifa. That's our our. primary concern right now. >> All right. That's what President Trump. did. What does the FBI say? >> We share the same view. When you look at. the data right now, you look at the. domestic terrorist threat that we're. facing right now. What I see from my. position is that's the most immediate. violent threat that we're facing on the. domestic side. >> So, where is Antifa headquartered?

what we're doing right now with the. organization, >> where in the United States does Antifa. exist? If it's a terrorist organization and. you've identified it as number one, >> we are building out the infrastructure. right now. >> So, what does that mean? You I'm just We're trying to get the. information. You say Antifa. is a terrorist organization. Tell us as a committee, how did you come.

to that? Where they where do they exist? How many members do they have in the. United States as of right now? >> Well, that's very fluid. It's it's. ongoing for us to understand that. The. same no different than al-Qaeda and. ISIS. >> Now, now I don't want you ask one. question, sir. I just want you to tell. us if you said Antifa is the number one. domestic terrorist organization uh. operating in the United States. I just. need to know where they are. How many.

people? I don't want a name. I don't. want anything like that. Just how many. people have you identified with the FBI. uh that Antifa is made of? >> Well, the investigations are active. Sir, you wouldn't come to this committee. and say something you can't prove. I. know. I know you wouldn't do that. >> But you did. >> I'm starting to think that all this talk. about Antifa might not actually be on.

the level. And look, as if the. operations director of the FBI's. National Security Branch's answer here. didn't already make it obvious enough, Trump's Justice Department is clearly. looking for some straw man here so that. a they can distract away from right-wing. groups like the Proud Boys that do. exist, and B, so that they can continue. to wallow in victimhood and pretend that. they're under constant assault, both of. which are top priorities of today's. Republican party. So as not to bury the. lead here, while Trump administration. officials play makebelieve that Antifa.

is the biggest threat to national. security facing this country, it's not. even a real group. There is no. leadership, no meetings, no dues, no. structure, and as Glene clearly. recognizes now, no headquarters. So it's. not only not organized, it's not even. close to anything resembling an. organization. All it is is an ideology. You may not like that ideology, but and. that's your prerogative, but it's just. an ideology, one that stands for. anti-fascist and um not for nothing. But.

when you're against the anti-fascists, it's pretty clear what that makes you. In fact, in this same hearing, Glashine. was asked about exactly the point that I. made earlier about the Proud Boys and. whether that actual extremist group is. still a priority for this. administration. And his answer here is. pretty telling. >> Mr. Glashine, are you familiar with the. Proud Boys? I'm familiar with the name yet? Proud. Boys. >> Okay. Does the FBI still designate the. Proud Boys as an extremist organization? They did in 2018 in President Trump's.

first term. >> We are in the process right now of. changing our. uh categories for domestic terrorists. So, they're no longer designated as an. extremist organization. The FBI. designated them an extremist. organization in 2018. Has that changed? >> I'm not aware that they did that. >> It's all over the media, sir. Widely. reported. Can you get back to me on. that? >> Sure. Will. >> All right. Thank you. >> So, to be clear, you've got an extremist. group, the Proud Boys, which were.

instrumental in fermenting violence on. January 6th. Its leaders, former. national chairman Henry Enrique Tario, along with Ethan Nordine, Joseph Biggs, and Zachary Rail, were found guilty of. sedicious conspiracy and conspiracy to. obstruct an official proceeding. A fifth. member, Dominic Pizzola, was also. convicted on several charges, including. obstruction of an official proceeding. and assaulting federal officers. Tario. was sentenced to 22 years in prison, the. longest sentence among the group, while. Nordine received 18 years, Big 17 years, uh, Rail 15 years, and Pizzola 10 years.

You know how many Antifa leaders have. been arrested and convicted? None. Because again, Antifa is not a real. group with any semblance of an organized. structure. And so that notion that that. is a bigger threat than an actual. extremist group whose leaders have all. been indicted and convicted is a joke. and a testament to the fact that this. White House is more focused on. perpetuating a narrative than actually. upholding the law. And let's be clear, this persistent focus on Antifa is.

nothing new. Right before the No Kings. protest just a couple of months ago, here was Pam Bondi suggesting that. everybody who was planning on attending. were members themselves of Antifa. >> Well, sure. And and and that's one of. the things about Antifa. You've heard. President Trump say multiple times, they. are organized. They are a criminal. organization and they're very organized. You're seeing people out there with. thousands of signs that all match, pre-bought, pre-put together. They're. organized and someone is funding it.

We're going to get to the funding of. Antifa. We're going to get to the root. of Antifa and we are going to find in. charge all of those people who are. causing this chaos in Portland and all. these other cities across our country. Talk to all the influencers who have. been threatened and beat up and their. lives threatened from Antifa members. It's going to stop under Donald Trump. Quote, "That's the thing about Antifa. They are organized." Again, Antifa is. quite literally not organized because. it's not actually a real group. Or how. about this idea that Antifa must be.

organized because they're quote. thousands of signs that all match, pre-bought, pre-put together. First of. all, the creation of signs does not make. you Antifa. This may come as a surprise. to the attorney general of the United. States of America. But signs have been. around for a very long time, even before. the Grand Marshall of Antifa apparently. willed them into existence. And second, signs that all match. Have you seen any. photos from any of these protests? The. whole point is that there are thousands.

and thousands and thousands of different. signs, none of which match. Like for. example, you'll have one sign that says. Trump is Putin's pocket another. that says fascists can oligar these. nuts, and finally the quite succinct. Trump is a So, if the uniformity. of signs is a surefire sign of Antifa, I. think the millions of Americans who. showed up to the No Kings protest are. probably safe from prosecution. And. look, I could sit here and debunk. everything that Pam Bondi and her hack. attorneys and prosecutors at the DOJ.

say, but the reason for all of this is. beyond clear. They are deflecting. attention away from the very real. instances of right-wing violence because. they don't oppose them. They support. them. They want to be able to wield that. cudgel to achieve their political ends. Trump did it on January 6th and then. duly pardoned everybody who committed. violence in his name to the tune of. 1,600 pardons. Republicans tried to. carry out a kidnapping plot against the. governor of Michigan. They broke into. Nancy Pelosy's house and bludgeon her. husband with a hammer. Don Jr. then. laughed about it on Twitter and likened. it to a fun Halloween costume. And right.

now, Indiana Republicans are the targets. of threats, intimidation, swatting, and. more at the hands of MAGA Republicans. who want them to vote for new maps. gerrymandering the state fully for their. party. I mean, hell, even Margie Taylor. Green, the darling of MAGA, lamented the. use of violence at the hands of Donald. Trump and his followers. >> After President Trump called me a. traitor, I got a pipe bomb threat on my. house. And then I got uh several direct. death threats on my son. >> On your son?

>> On my son. >> You say the president put your life in. danger. You blame him. You say he he. fueled a hot bed of threats against me. and that you blame him for the uh. threats against your son. >> The subject line for the direct death. threats on my son was his words, Marjgery Trader Green. >> Those are death threats directly fueled. by President Trump. I and I told him I. told JD Vance I told them all. Sent. those directly to them and response.

>> JD Vance replied back to me. We'll look. into it. I got response back from. President Trump that I will keep. private, but it wasn't very nice. >> Give us a hint of what the president. said. >> Uh, it was extremely unkind. >> Of course, he was unkind because again, he doesn't regret the violence. He wants. it. It is his tool to wield and he. intends to keep using it. And if that. means that he'll send his goons in front. of Congress to run cover for him so that.

he can do exactly that more and more and. more, clearly he has no problem doing. it. [music].
