Antifa Attacks Journalist at UW's TPUSA Event

The University of Washington became the latest scene of Antifa violence this week with an attack on a conservative reporter and several other people. Antifa often attacks reporters who are critical of their actions and the videotape shows at least one person bleeding after the attack on reporter, Jonathan Choe, and his team. ...

Despite the denial of its existence by figures like Rep. Jerry Nadler (D., N.Y.), I have long written and spoken about the threat of Antifa to free speech on our campuses and in our communities. This includes testimony before Congress on Antifa’s central role in the anti-free speech movement nationally.

As I have written, it has long been the “Keyser Söze” of the anti-free speech movement, a loosely aligned group that employs measures to avoid easy detection or association.  Yet, FBI Director Chris Wray has repeatedly pushed back on the denials of Antifa’s work or violence. In one hearing, Wray stated “And we have quite a number” — and “Antifa is a real thing. It’s not a fiction.”

Of course Antifa is real. Nadler denies it because Antifa has been the goon squad of the progressive Left, and will continue to be as long as law enforcement and prosecutors refuse to take this seriously. The lack of consequences for this kind of radical violent action is directly connected to the explosion of pro-Hamas campus intimidation campaigns over the last six-plus months.
