Hans von Spakovsky, Greg Walsh: Antifa is dangerous and it’s time for the feds to step in
OPINION - By Hans A. von Spakovsky, Greg Walsh | Fox News
Conservative journalist speaks out after being attacked by Antifa protesters in Portland
GOP lawmaker calls on Trump to designate Antifa as a terror organization; Quillette editor Andy Ngo shares his story on 'Tucker Carlson Tonight.'
Enough is enough. The U.S. Justice Department needs to immediately open a criminal civil rights investigation of Antifa, an affiliation of radical activists and left-wing groups whose name, ironically enough, is short for “anti-fascists.”
Their attack on journalist Andy Ngo was beyond the pale. Federal law enforcement has an obligation to stop any extremist organization that is apparently organizing and precipitating violent attacks, especially if state and local authorities seem reluctant to take action against what has all the makings of a domestic terrorist organization.
We cannot have any confidence that the political leadership of the City of Portland will allow its local law enforcement to do anything about this, either. The Portland Police Association released a statement after the attack criticizing the mayor for restricting the ability of the police to stop Antifa, saying “our hands are tied.” The Association also says it has no doubt that no such restrictions would not have been in place “if this violence had been directed at Antifa.”
JOURNALIST VIOLENTLY ATTACKED BY ANTIFA RECALLS ‘COMPLETE ANARCHY AND LAWLESSNESS’
Mayor Ted Wheeler claims that he had not “directed Police Chief Danielle Outlaw or other officials to change their approach to arrests,” in addition to “defend[ing] the city’s response, or lack thereof, to members of Antifa who [have] blocked traffic and harassed bystanders” in the past. But even the U.S. Ambassador to Germany criticized the city’s executive in a series of tweets, questioning what more needs to happen to Wheeler’s citizens before protective action will be taken. Wheeler’s inaction is even less defensible because the mayor of Portland is also its police commissioner.
Ngo was punched, pushed, robbed, and hit with tossed milkshakes purportedly mixed with quick-drying cement. The well-known Quillette journalist wasn’t the only bystander attacked, as The Washington Times reports that “two [other] Oregon men – John Blum and Adam Kelly – were mobbed and pummeled by black-masked protesters in a horrific attack that left Mr. Blum bleeding profusely from wounds to his face and skull.”
Columnist Michelle Malkin noted that “both John & Adam were beaten by Antifa after trying to help a gay man in a sundress being chased down the street.” This all occurred in broad daylight, and was filmed by multiple bystanders while Portland police stood on the sidelines and did nothing to stop it.

On “It’s Going Down,” a popular website for Antifa and their supporters, a 2016 blog post predicted the chaos which has now become commonplace in more “progressive” parts of the country. When asked who on the left can respond to the inauguration of Donald Trump, the authors wrote, “The answer is clear as day, but it isn’t in the halls of power, in the politicians, the leaders of the unions, or in the big NGOs. Instead it’s in the rioters. The blockaders. The people in ski masks and in the streets. The ones on the front lines fighting with the cops.”
It is shocking to assert that “rioters, blockaders, cop-fighters, and people in ski masks” are the enlightened nobility who can save our constitutional republic from internal ruin. It is also plainly wrong. And it is time that federal law enforcement and Justice Department officials took notice of this potentially ominous threat to our civil society.
