House Freedom Caucus Chair Rep. Andy Harris and other Republican lawmakers expressed strong support for President Donald Trump’s decision to label Antifa a terrorist organization and recommend investigating the group’s financial supporters.

“I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter!” the president declared on Truth Social.

“President Trump is right. ANTIFA is a dangerous, radical group that thrives on chaos and violence. Rightfully declaring them a terrorist organization will help protect our communities. It’s time to investigate those who fund them and stop the lawlessness once and for all,” Rep. Harris declared in a post on X.

The House Freedom Caucus account reposted Harris’ post and posts by GOP Reps. Eli Crane and Andy Biggs, both of Arizona, in which they shared screenshots of the president’s post about Antifa and thanked him for it.

GOP Sens. Rick Scott, of Florida, and Mike Lee, of Utah, also thanked the president.

“Antifa has gotten away with its evils and terrorized cities across our country for far too long. This was 100% the right move. Thank you, @POTUS!” Scott declared in a post on X.

“ANTIFA is like a group of arsonists masquerading as firefighters,” Lee wrote.

“Thank you, President Trump, for designating ANTIFA as a major terrorist organization.”

On May 31, 2020, during his first term in office, Trump declared in a tweet, “The United States of America will be designating ANTIFA as a Terrorist Organization.”

Trump’s terrorist designation finally gives law enforcement the tools needed to dismantle Antifa’s violent network across America.

The formal classification allows federal agencies to freeze assets, arrest organizers, and prosecute supporters under anti-terrorism statutes.

Republican lawmakers understand that Antifa represents a clear and present danger to American communities and democratic institutions.

The group’s tactics of intimidation, property destruction, and physical violence meet every definition of domestic terrorism.

Harris correctly identifies that investigating Antifa’s funding sources will expose the wealthy backers enabling their violent activities.

Senator Scott’s observation that Antifa has “terrorized cities” reflects the reality experienced by countless American families.

The group’s destructive riots in Portland, Seattle, and other cities caused billions in damages while traumatizing local residents.

Senator Lee’s comparison to “arsonists masquerading as firefighters” perfectly captures Antifa’s deceptive propaganda about fighting fascism.

Trump’s decision represents a long-overdue recognition that political violence cannot be tolerated regardless of ideological motivation.

The terrorist designation sends a clear message that violent extremism will face serious federal consequences.

Republican unity behind this decision shows the party’s commitment to law and order principles.

The investigation into Antifa funding will likely reveal connections to liberal donors and activist organizations.

Federal prosecutors can now pursue RICO charges against the entire Antifa conspiracy rather than treating incidents as isolated crimes.

This designation provides local law enforcement with federal backup when dealing with Antifa violence.

The move protects conservative speakers and events that have been targeted by Antifa militants for years.

Trump’s action validates the experiences of police officers who have faced Antifa attacks during riots.

The terrorist classification ensures that Antifa members will face enhanced penalties for their violent activities.

This decision represents a major victory for Americans who believe in peaceful political discourse over violent intimidation.

The formal recognition of Antifa as terrorists will help protect future political events from leftist violence.

Republican lawmakers deserve credit for supporting this necessary step to restore law and order to American streets.
