Jack Posobiec: Antifa Has Been Around In Various Iterations Going Back To The Weimar Republic
Conservative journalist Jack Posobiec spoke at a White House roundtable on Wednesday afternoon hosted by President Donald Trump to discuss the domestic threat posed by Antifa.
JACK POSOBIEC, HUMAN EVENTS: Mr. President, thank you so much for having us here today and holding this this roundtable. Antifa is real. Antifa has been around in various iterations for almost a hundred years in some instances, going back to the Weimar Republic in Germany, and it’s now been just under one month since since we saw a far-leftist murder Charlie Kirk, and we saw thousands upon thousands of people, other far-leftists, and people in positions of authority, people like nurses and pilots and doctors and HR departments celebrating the death and the murder of Charlie Kirk. This sickness that’s out there is absolutely real, and Mr. President, thank you for mentioning the fact that one of the bullet casings read, Hey fascist, catch on it. One of the other bullet casings right next to that had Bella Chow written on it. Now, Bella Chow is a song that is known in Antifa circles as the International Anthem of Antifa, and all of us around this room that have studied Antifa were very familiar with these symbols, and Mr. President, I think the situation is getting worse. When you look at people like Luigi Maggione, in his 20s, Thomas Matthew Crooks, of course, who took a shot at you, sir, the ice shooter in Dallas, and now this Tyler Robinson, we’re starting to see a pattern of more and more murderous violence, and this same violence is not just random. It is targeted assassinations, which are getting worse, and every single one of us in this room that goes out there, and obviously you as well, sir, and all the staff, we are now under that threat every single day, and working there at Turning Point USA, and I’ve spent just about the last month out there in Phoenix with Erica, with the family, with the team, and I will tell you this, Mr. President, even though going through something like that, which is an absolute nightmare, and people say, you know, what was it like to speak in front of all those people? It was horrible. Every second of it was horrible. But we’re not going to quit, and Turning Point USA is continuing the tour that Charlie was on. We had 6,000 people when we went back to Utah. We had 5,000 people last night in Montana, if you can believe that. We are continuing to organize on campus. We are getting more and more people coming out in the face of this threat, knowing what happened to Charlie, but Mr. President, we need to do something about this, because I fear that the next one who could be killed could be sitting at this table right now, and we’re not going to stop, but they need to stop, and they will not stop until they are stopped.
