Trumps Antifa Comments Trigger left-wing Germany

Following U.S. President Donald Trump’s comments about labeling the extreme-left Antifa as a terrorist organization, an outpouring of support for the group came from the political left in Germany as many outed themselves as supporters of the violent network.

Last Saturday, after Trump’s comments, #IchbinAntifa (I am Antifa) became the number one trending hashtag on Twitter throughout Germany, with many figures from the left – especially those from the far-left Link Left (Die Linke) party and the Green Party – expressing their support, reports Deutsche Welle.

“Consideration is being given to declaring ANTIFA, the gutless Radical Left Wack Jobs who go around hitting (only non-fighters) people over the heads with baseball bats, a major Organization of Terror… Would make it easier for police to do their job!” wrote Trump.

Trump’s comments triggered tens of thousands of reactions on the social media platform, with about 144,000 likes and nearly 67,000 interactions.

Bernd Riexinger, the leader of Die Linke party, said that he was an Antifa “always and everywhere” due to the history of his country.

The youth wing of the Green Party also echoed Riexinger’s sentiments, writing that its members were needed to fight fascism “on the street, on the internet, in the parliaments”.

Regardless of its political and institutional support among leftists, the inherently violent, destructive, and terroristic nature of Antifa is more than well documented.

Earlier this month, Antifa made headlines in the United States after the group violently attacked Andy Ngo, a self-described “gay journalist of color”, at a political rally in Portland, Oregon.

Britain’s Nigel Farage, who has also been a victim of the far-left, referred to this attack as “very, very dangerous and it’s damaging democracy in a serious way.”

An Antifa member in Sweden was recently imprisoned after authorities found his cache of illegal firearms and police uniforms.

In Italy, the extremist group is suspected to have been involved in the terrorist sabotage of railway infrastructure which occurred earlier this month.

Although politicians of the left slammed Trump’s comments, more reasonable individuals like the party leader of Alternative for Germany, Alice Weidel, along with the Hamburg Police Union were more sympathetic to Trump’s sentiments.

“Trump is right: such extreme groups should be prohibited,” said the AfD leader.

In response to the controversy, the Hamburg Police Union published images of Antifa members carrying wooden staves with nails driven into them which, they claimed, were used to attack police horses.

U.S. Senator Ted Cruz, who earlier this month proposed legislation in the Senate, that if passed, would have Antifa labeled as a terrorist group, has described the group as a “terrorist organization composed of hateful, intolerant radicals who pursue their extreme agenda through aggressive violence… Time and time again their actions have demonstrated that their central purpose is to inflict harm on those who oppose their views”

In September of 2018, while eating at a Washington D.C. restaurant with his wife, Senator Cruz were both assailed by Antifa members. The extremists chased the couple out of the restaurant and later tweeted a warning to the Republican Senator that he was “not safe”

  1. The last consideration we, in the U.S.A. should regard, is the nation which grew its power under Hitler, via his “Brownshirts” which were Nazism’s shock troops. They carried out the violence of the 1930’s Germany, which brought a Post WW1 Germany’s punitive street gangs organized for Hitler’s “Putsch”.(power) At the time, Germans who survived the trench fighting in WW1, on both eastern & western fronts, had to surrender to the Allies, Germany’s military power was overwhelmed by the Allies. The treaty of Versailles, in a railcar near Paris, France, subjected Germany, in its opinion, to oppressive peace terms.From that grew the street hoodlums, like Antifa here, which punished those NAZI propaganda named as those people or groups responsible for German military surrender. Hitler’s “putsch” grew by justifying hoodlum tactics of his “Brown Shirts.”
    Now, here, American cities & towns see the outgrowth of street hoodlums, masked and in black costumes, perpetrating violence anywhere they are directed to strike with violence.The Germans know their NAZI history, probably identify what ultimately brought WW2 Germany to its “greatness”,and could be sympathetic to Antifa. Of course, there is other irritation to Germany and its Mrs.Merkel. She may represent W. Europe’s wealthiest economy, but if & when she meets with President Trump, she is frustrated and subordinate.In addition, U.S. military units are still posted to Germany, a reminder of WW2 and why Allied troops were posted into “zones” after NAZI Germany’s surrender.

  2. They are hateful, racist, terrorist group that better off remaining in the past. Sadly people of all ages want to belong and acceptable to a group especially if they have no family. This mental illness causes kids an adults to join gangs and evil organizations that feeds on their need to belong. They do not realize this gang mentality is evil and only causes harm to innocent people. These terrorist groups like Antifa, KKK, Deep South and similar similar groups are more evil than what they are against. They are worse than terrorist groups because they should know better.

  3. If ANTIFA is an international Terrorist Organization then that makes it more legitimate to go after them and squeeze the giant boil til it bursts so the healing process can begin! Anyone can go out and beat up children and old men and women, however, something tragic is going to happen!
    If a family member of mine is hurt by this group, I’m going to start killing a member of ANTIFA per week! You cowards must realize that there are people in America that have zero tolerance when it comes to their family and friends, or witnessing a helpless human being get beat on by thugs! We did not ask for this, and myself and millions more just like me will be picking you off and it will be fun! We get so caught up in our busy lives, and we are bored, and something different to shoot at will be a blessing! This is in no way a threat, because none of my family or friends have fallen victim to ANTIFA Cowards crimes! I’m merely sending this public service announcement to let you know what I will do if it happens to mine, and by the way, I won’t tell anyone before I strike back, if I must begin this unnecessary retaliation resulting in multiple dead ANTIFA Cowards! Good day to all.

    • You go Rob. These cowardly punk thugs definitely need to be labeled as a terrorist group and I wish President Trump would do it today. I wish I was 35 years younger because I would get a bunch of guys together and anytime they were at a peaceful protest and started causing trouble we would go in there and crack their skulls for them.

  4. Who gives a rat’s butt what the left say or want and I could care less if they are from here in America or from Germany! Antifa is nothing but traitors and cowards and should be made leave American soil! They are traitors and terrorists! Germany can kiss America’s ass!

  5. Well, this leaves 2 possible ways to comment on this. Either the German supporters of Antifa are also terrorist sympathizers OR they really have no idea what these little criminals are doing in this country and are associating with the name only. If the Germans are dumb enough to be duped into believing these terrorists are anti-faschists, they’ll never have the fortitude to be leaders or at the very least, self reliant and they’re no better than the Germans were back in the 1930’s.

  6. American Soldiers stopped Hitler and did it while we were also defeating Japan, please don’t forget this, because if you were to need another ass kickin, just imagine the U.S. Military when we aren’t busy fighting another Country! America and real, American Born Citizens are Superior, irregardless of what that Fraudulent, Kenya Born, Imposter, Obama apologized for, you see Obama isn’t superior, he was manufactured by a Domestic Terrorist by the name of Bill Ayers, he like his worthless father is a Communist! Our Forefathers had the foresight to know that a foreign born individual could not be POTUS because his allegiance would be to his Country of birth and their ideology, and let me tell you, they were absolutely correct! Obama was never Constitutionally POTUS and he was never legally POTUS! Sorry for the inconvenient truth, blame the Treasonous DNC for supporting that fiasco!

    • Germany must be controlled by Stalinist-commie types. Antifa was Stalinist street thugs who terrorized German streets ’til they were beaten by the inevitable reaction to their terrorism, Hitler’s Brownshirts. Antifungal then joined the Brownshirts, mercenaries that they are. Antifungal are fascists in fact & in deed, communist by creed. They get inches from people’s faces then scream & spit at them, pushing & doing all they can to incite violence & rioting- then the media portrays their victims as the agressors.

    • I support our police very much. But when they are told to stand down while these antifa faggots go around assaulting people then I draw the line. Then they no longer have my respect. Their liberal left piece of trash mayors or police chief orders them to stand down and they do it because they want to keep their cost jobs. Evidently keeping the peace and protecting the people aren’t their main goal. If I was younger and I was a cop I would take my chances and do my job. If it meant getting fired so be it. And if that is going to be the norm in these liberal Democrat crap hole cities then the police just might as well quit and we the people will do their job.

  7. Yes, they sound more like ISIS, the taliban and other violent fascist groups. Any one that hits someone else because of what they think or say is a terrorist and should be prosecuted as such! Listen to each other and work on understanding that should be the American way not taking a bat to their head. If ANTIFA insists on violence then take it to them!

    • ANTIFA plain and simple domestic terrorist. Anyone who has ever worn the uniform of this country took an oath “to defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign and DOMESTIC!!”
      There is no expiration date on this oath. ANTIFA members as they are arrested could be considered for Guantanamo Bay or Super Max prison in Colorado. Since it seems that most of these people are young. Any that are arrested in Texas for any thing other than a federal charge would look good in white working in the fields of these prison farms. Once they are officially labeled terrorist a organization with any member arrested in the act of committing a violent offense, could that individual be charge as an enemy combatant? I would hope so. Locked up for life or the death penalty(now that the government has brought back the death penalty). That should be the only two options for an outcome in a federal or local level charge. ANTIFA members should be arrested on sight

  8. I hope the bill Mr. Cruse is passed. I am still in disbelief that Obama gave that group a check for 1 million dollars of our money. They are terrorists .

  9. Like all patriotic Americans, I defend these protesters rights to speak their complaints and speak loudly from time to time. Tell us what you don’t like and why. My problem with Antifa during the past 3 years is the fact that they SHUT DOWN the free speech of everyone else. And, they engage in vicious violence to physically harm anyone else who should have a voice if they think they won’t like what is said. They remind me of people who cannot read, so they want to prevent anyone else from reading. They can only Tweet and are incapable of writing even an OpEd.

  10. It is only a matter of time before Antifa meets a conceal carry and people are killed for assaulting a citizen for expressing his inalienable right to free expression.
    It’s only a matter of time before a radical religious cult throws acid instead of water on a police officer or a socialist democrat arm Antifa decides to kill enforcers of “Rule of Law”
    These organizations like Muslim brotherhood and CAIR or Antifa and Nationalist groups must be declared enemies of society.

  11. Just a bunch of punks that are going to get killed and i would love to me a bunch of them so bring it on i got a bullet with your name on it and Germany can go to hell.

  12. Antifa is violent and destructive. They beat up people and destroy private property. This is an act of terrorism. So yes they are internal terrorists. Frankly, I think they should get a taste of their own medicine. I know that is just putting us in the same hole these slugs are in but I want to strike out at them so badly for their ignorance and stupidity. The President was right these are a bunch of lazy slugs who would rather get paid to destroy and still live with mama. Just a bunch of disgusting sewer rats.

  13. I’m not sure why we need to pass a law that will only need to be enforced. What’s wrong with the present laws we already have in place? The only thing I can see is their lack of enforcement. If the present so-leaders of cities across America are politicizing Antifa by telling their local law enforcement to back off then they are as guilty as Antifa. These so-called leaders need to be incarcerated along with Antifa members. The laws are in place. Just do your jobs and enforce them.

    I believe Martial Law will be warranted sometime in 2020 along with
    activation of Malitias in certain states. Antifa,BLM,illegals immigrants
    anti American Muslims/Islam and Soros paid protesters will be very
    active and threatening and should be dealt with by incarceration and
    or deportation and any citizen, stripped of their citizenship.

  15. Antifa IS a terrorist organization, they respond with violence whenever they’re near someone who doesn’t agree with them. I’d like to see them try that with me, they may be surprised when they physically assault someone who is carrying a concealed weapon here in the US, Europe is too wimpy to issue CCW permits. USA strong point – it’ll happen, just wait.

  16. So apparently there are still some NAZIS in GERMANY…..No Surprise we have a few here, they claim to be a part of the LIBERAL DEMOCRAT PARTY and they too SUPPORT THE TERRORIST GROUP KNOWN AS “ANTIFA”!

  17. If the DNC and MSM were anything other than racist ant-America Anarchists supporting Obama, Ayers, Dorn, Soros, Kerry, and others they would come out against ANTIFA!

  18. Antifa are the fascist radicals that they purport to oppose. They run in groups and masks carrying crow bars and poles to beat anyone that disagrees with them. Terrorists for sure.

  19. Pelosi talks about how we are a Country Of The People only when she can use it against Trump, truth is, she ignores the American People, and spends her time fighting for illegals like Cummings while their Constituents are homeless and suffering in rat infested dumps! The DNC has nothing to offer Americans! They support everything that hurts Americans and they live like Royalty, and we must stop that shit!

  20. The Communist Chicago Anarchists are being silent, they are planning a Michelle Obama last minute Surprise for POTUS, and WE THE PEOPLE Know It! That is the last thing this Country needs is a Communist Tranny that looks like a Gorilla!

  21. ANTIFA MEMBERS ARE EVIL PEOPLE THAT ATTACKING MEGA SUPPORTERS AND SHOULD BE RECOGNIZED AS AMERICAS TERRORIST

  22. these ANTIFA terrorist groups need to be stopped regardless of what needs to be done to stop them, Military, the local police need to protect the USA Americans and themselves. The need to do what ever to get rid of this group of TERRORIST!

  23. Trump is correct that Antifa needs to be labelled as a terrorist organization. ANYBODY who has eyes to see & has watched numerous tv broadcasts has seen the violence they create & push to intimidate those whose values and ideology Antifa opposes, especially that of Christians. May other governments support declaring Antifa a terrorist organization.

  24. It is so fitting that german left wing fascist should support the antifa fascist here. Time for President Trump to hunt these folks down and kill them. Th ed mayirwho is also pice commissioner of portland oregon is the first one trump should have shot.

  25. Antifa are racist, violent, rioters. They are the Devils own spawn straight from Stalin himself.

  26. The present is best seen through the prism of the not so distant past. That is ANTIFA seen as the street thugs employed by Hitler, “Brown Shirts”. Allow me to continue to run amuck and unchecked
    they will only continue to become more aggressive and violent. While those on the left, far left and far far left rally to their support, those with sanity must also rally in support of those like Senator Cruz and President Trump.

    These cowards, hiding behind their masks are no different than those who hid behind masks and also only picked on those incapable of defending themselves. They were known by several names with the most well known being “The Democratic Party’s enforcement arm in The South” or even more recognizable “KKK” or Klu Klux Klan”. Either way, Atifi like the Klan is a decease and must be totally wiped out.

  27. These people if you want to call them that are the most disgusting beings of the world we live in that disrupt and disrespect and bring harm to our countries of us and others should be taken and put on a island and they can do unto themselves as they have done to others and we’ll see how they survive. Let’s start with the corrupt criminals of the political parties the worst is the Democrats which are no better than the ones that think they can do whatever they want no matter what. Well the words that came out of President Trumps mouth was not on my watch and these beings need to be punished for the inhumane things they have done to anyone human beings. They must be punished for their crimes and the unlawful acts they have committed against the innocent people that have done nothing to deserve to be harmed on humiliated by anyone. I agree to having antiifa that have become terrorist to be brought back to earth because they think they can turn this world into a world of their own and that world is full of hatred and harm to anyone they don’t like for no good reasons. They must be taken down and punished severely for what they do to good people. These kinds of beings with bad intentions to harm and belittle and scare people to death and this always will be in the minds of the ones that have been caught up into the kind of actions of ANTIFA and others that have hatred flowing in there blood and brains they must be stopped before someone is killed for stupid shit and they will say I don’t no why I did it I wasn’t thinking but it’s to late now you have taken a life.

  28. Since when is this kind of thing alright and especially in America. Where is the national guard and the police. if any Mayor and or governor lets this kind of thing take place, they should be held accountable and prosecuted as a hate crime they committed.

  29. Cummings better shut his whinny mouth and spend his time justifying where he spent the $$$billions sent to help the poor people in Baltimore!!!!!

  30. Antifa thrives on fear and hate and terrorism. What the hell is the matter w/ law enfocememt at all levels??? People who destroy property and kill or hurt others are indeed terrorists. It NOT freedom of speech!!!

  31. ANTIFA IS A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION AND SHOULD BE IDENTIFIED AS SUCH. WHEN EVER THEY SHOW UP WITH A MASK THEY SHOULD BE TAKEN DOWN AND HANDCUFFED! DOMESTIC TERRORISM NEEDS TO BE PUNISHED

  32. [email protected]
    Thank God for President Trump. He is uncovering the areas we need to be aware of. Antifa needs to understand they are not supported by Americans or true citizens of their anarchy. Stand up against them. They are thugs who need to be arrested.

  33. Just take a look at what Germany has invited in to their nation in hordes, muslims, who hates America in hordes? muslims, so naturally they are all for antifa in the hopes that antifa will not be labeled terrorist until it is too late to stop them from creating havoc in the US

  34. Why is it, that we have to go through the Senate, or Congress to name ANTIFA as a Terrorist Organization? That’s Bullshit. ANTIFA has proven time and again that they are terrorists. their status should be amended to the level of Known terrorists, period. It shouldn’t be up to the never present Congress, nor Senate. Y’all still need to clean out the Shrillary followers, in the FBI, because there are still some diehard Shrillary lovers, in the Bureau. Both legislative branches hate Trump, to the point that they Will Not Pass anything he suggests. We The People have determined that ANTIFA is a Terrorist Organization, and if law Enforcement won’t do anything, We The People will show you all how to deal with them, and us OLD Veterans can still defend our Constitution, because our Legislature is too damn sorry to do it. We are DONE watching these Bastard children attack those who cannot defend themselves, and the Law Enforcement just stands there and watches! Do Your Damn Jobs!

  35. The Hell with what Germany likes, or dislikes! Do we have to remind them WHO spanked their Ass, when they tried to take over the whole damn world? If they don’t remember, we sure as HELL can!

  36. The Justice Department and the F.B.I. should go after ANTIFA. This is what thugs do in Third World countries to their political opponents. This activity has no place in America.

  37. Arrest George Soros now and see a lot of this crap stop immediately! Why has he been immune from culpability? Trump get on it now…!

  38. I hope the authorities, whether they be local police, F.B.I., A.T.F. or any other law enforcement agency
    can determine why a killer would drive six hundred miles from Allen, Texas to El Paso and go on a shooting
    rampage in a Wal-Mart when he has Wal-Marts all around in the Dallas-Ft Worth Metro-Plex.

    One could/would think who lives there and who got a lot of media coverage.

    What is really disgusting is that with every time there is a shooting, two things light up the total media.
    One….more gun control…Two…Blame Trump. Is that not disgusting ?

    Why won’t the media tell/write/show all the positive things Donald Trump has and is doing for America and
    American citizens ? If those who are totally bias against Trump, no one will ever change their minds. It is what it is. All the good that Trump has done can not be listed here. Watch Hannity, Laura, Levin, Hilton, Tucker
    and all their great guests and then even with your bias toward Trump, maybe just maybe one would get a “glimmer”
    of the great things he is doing. He is the only person that can take all the ” in-coming” from all the Media
    and fight back and win. To all of those who are bias to Trump…open your minds and watch his rally’s.
    You hit him he hit’s back twice as hard. Then he get’s hammered by the press for his courage to stand up to them.

    As for as gun control…why ( unless there was a ulterior motive) would they want to take guns away from Americans?
    Imagine what would happen if a homeowner could not protect his family and house
    because he had to surrender his gun (s ). The BAD guys with guns would just waltz in and take what they want.
    Could be many things. His wife, his daughters, his belongings and God forbid their lives. And for God’s sake
    don’t think they won’t. They surely will. The only one’s who would be safe would be those who have armed guards
    and high walls surrounding their homes.
    I saw a sign on a farmhouse as I was driving to San Antonio and I thought…wow..this is true. The sign read:
    ” If you can read this, you are in range.” Kinda tells you a story..doesn’t it ? Is a “bad” guy going to go on that man’s property to do harm ? I don’t think so.

  39. Antifa doesn’t need to be taken down by government. It needs to be WATCHED by government and kept under control at its ‘rally’s and demonstrations.

    If government can take the left down, it can also take down the right and everyone in between.

    Be careful what you wish for; it could bite you in the ass, later.

  40. I will repeat again that I am almost sure that these ANTIFA Terrorist’s Organization was Built and/or is Financed and maybe Ran by EX-President Barrack Hussein Obama. Obama stated , back in 2009 , when Elected , that he was going to establish a 6,000 Man Peace Corp. or Army , that would be better trained and Armed with Weapons more Powerful and Sophisticated , than all of the United States Military Forces Combined. Now this Organization is here and they are all in those same Black Uniform type Clothing, use the same type weapons, mostly large Clubs , show up at points all over these United States with nobody knowing when or how they get to those different place’s. If you haven’t heard about this 6,000 man Obama Army , go to Google.com , key in Obamas 6000 man Army and start reading , IT IS THERE!!!! TSgt., USAF Vietnam Vet., Retired.,

  41. The last thing we should care about is what Antifa supporters in Germany think. WE have enough problems with our own cretins. However, if those in Germany who do support Antifa here in USA have names, and they do, they should be excused from entering the USA. Period.

  42. This fascist group who says they represent antifascists are nothing but terrorists. They wouldn’t have the guts to attack anyone without their masks and crowbars. Not many civilians I know run around with crowbars in their mits while rioting. They need a comeuppance. Soon.
