Notorious AG Denies Antifa Exists After Years of Cheering Them On!

You’ve got to hand it to the Democrats; when reality doesn’t fit their narrative, they just pretend it doesn’t exist. Case in point: Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison, who has apparently decided that Antifa—a group that’s been burning cities, assaulting police officers, and terrorizing communities for years, is just a figment of everyone’s imagination. According to Ellison, “nobody even knows what it is,” and President Trump “invented” the term. That’s an impressive level of denial for a man who was once photographed proudly holding a copy of “Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook” and saying it would “strike fear in the heart of President Trump.”

Let’s get something straight. Antifa isn’t a myth. It’s not the Loch Ness Monster. It’s a decentralized but very real far-left extremist network. From Portland to Seattle to Minneapolis, Antifa members have been caught red-handed setting fires, smashing windows, attacking journalists, and assaulting anyone wearing a MAGA hat. During the 2020 riots, they lit up entire city blocks in Portland and tried to burn down a federal courthouse, while Democrats like Ellison turned a blind eye and pretended it was all about “justice.”

President Trump had it right back then and he’s right again now: Antifa is a terrorist organization. They may hide behind vague slogans and decentralized structures, but they act with one purpose, to destroy anything they label as “fascist,” which usually just means conservative, Christian, or pro-Trump. Trump has signaled that he intends to classify Antifa as a foreign terrorist organization, which would allow prosecutors to go after not only members but also anyone funding or aiding their chaos. Finally, some accountability for the masked radicals who’ve been treated like freedom fighters by MSNBC and CNN.

What makes Ellison’s denial even more absurd is that his own son, Minneapolis City Councilman Jeremiah Ellison, publicly declared his support for Antifa during the George Floyd riots. In a post that’s aged about as well as milk left in the sun, Jeremiah proudly announced, “I hereby declare, officially, my support for ANTIFA.” This family really needs a refresher course in plausible deniability.

So when Keith Ellison tells MSNBC that Antifa “doesn’t exist,” what he really means is that it’s politically inconvenient to admit it does. The Democrats built their 2020 momentum on chaos, and Antifa was their street muscle. They can delete the tweets, hide the photos, and rewrite history all they want, but Americans remember who burned their cities and who stood by cheering.
