WATCH LIVE: Trump hosts roundtable discussion on Antifa domestic terror group

1

President Donald Trump is hosting a roundtable discussion at the White House Wednesday afternoon on the violent Antifa movement, which he has designated as a domestic terror organization.

This comes as Antifa activists have been attacking Customs and Immigration Enforcement (ICE) agents, their vehicles and facilities amid the Trump administration’s efforts to round up criminal illegal aliens across multiple “sanctuary” cities.

Multiple Trump cabinet members joined Trump at the discussion, including Stephen Miller, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Press Secretary Karoline Keaton, AG Pam Bondi, DHS Sec. Kristi Noem, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Deputy AG Todd Blanche.

Participating in the roundtable discussion are multiple independent journalists who have been victims of Antifa-related violence, along with other experts, including Andy Ngo, Julio Rojas, Nick Sortor, Jack Posobiec, Brandi Kruse, Katie Daviscourt, Nick Shirley, Cam Higby, Savanah Hernandez, James Klüg, Jonathan Choe, and author Seamus Bruner.

Ngo posted a photo on X and announced, “I’m inside the White House. I will be speaking with the U.S. President and his cabinet about Antifa.”

Human Events editor Jack Posobiec interviewed Ngo outside the White House ahead of the event.

Pinned to the top of Ngo’s X account is a video and his account of the horrific experience he personally endured at the hands of Antifa.  The video has generated over 9.8 million views since he posted it on September 19. He wrote:

On May 28, 2021, I ran for my life through the streets of downtown Portland, Ore. Antifa had discovered me working undercover after one of their members, John Hacker, exposed me to the mob.

I screamed for help as I fled, but drivers and pedestrians looked away. The businesses were all shuttered, remnants of the ongoing destruction from the 2020 BLM-Antifa riots. There was nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.

They caught me. Antifa tackled me to the ground, tearing my knee tendon in the process as I slid across the pavement. They punched me over and over and tried to choke me out. I barely managed to stumble into @theNinesHotel, begging the staff to call 911. Instead, they tried to force me back outside and told me to wear a Covid mask. I dropped to the floor, refusing to move, pleading for them to call the police. They refused.

Outside, Antifa gathered. One of their ringleaders, Elizabeth Richter — the blonde woman — began rallying the crowd. She called on others on a livestream to come finish me off. She went inside the hotel and threatened me. Antifa also tried breaking their way into the hotel.

I escaped only by jumping into an elevator with a hotel guest. After that, I was taken by ambulance to the hospital with a police guard. I was soaked in my blood. On social media, Antifa immediately began trying to track which hospital I was in, hoping to finish the job.

As soon as I was discharged, I had to flee Portland. I moved between safe houses in different states. Antifa’s hunt for me was far from over.

@PortlandPolice closed the case a few weeks afterward, saying they couldn’t identify anyone. Nobody was ever arrested, just like in 2019 when I was beaten to the point that my brain bled.

Another independent journalist who has been attacked by Antifa is Nick Shirley.  He posted an edited video of himself running from Antifa, as he humorously screams, “See you guys later! I gotta go to the White House!”

An executive order signed by President Trump on September 22 reads:

Antifa is a militarist, anarchist enterprise that explicitly calls for the overthrow of the United States Government, law enforcement authorities, and our system of law. It uses illegal means to organize and execute a campaign of violence and terrorism nationwide to accomplish these goals.

This campaign involves coordinated efforts to obstruct enforcement of Federal laws through armed standoffs with law enforcement, organized riots, violent assaults on Immigration and Customs Enforcement and other law enforcement officers, and routine doxing of and other threats against political figures and activists.

Antifa recruits, trains, and radicalizes young Americans to engage in this violence and suppression of political activity, then employs elaborate means and mechanisms to shield the identities of its operatives, conceal its funding sources and operations in an effort to frustrate law enforcement, and recruit additional members.

Individuals associated with and acting on behalf of Antifa further coordinate with other organizations and entities for the purpose of spreading, fomenting, and advancing political violence and suppressing lawful political speech. This organized effort designed to achieve policy objectives by coercion and intimidation is domestic terrorism.
