At Turning Point USA’s 2019 Student Action Summit, we sit down with journalist Andy Ngo to discuss far left extremism, Antifa violence, and what Ngo describes as the “victimhood” worldview.
"Some of it relates to an Antifa. Some of it relates to groups that act very much like an Antifa. As I said, there’s a witch’s brew of extremist groups that are trying to exploit this situation on all sides," Barr said.
The FBI has "quite a number of ongoing investigations" against "violent anarchists extremists" according to Wray, including what he described as "those motivated by Antifa, or an Antifa-like ideology."
"I am Antifa," Van Spronsen wrote in the three-page manifesto. "This is my clear opportunity to make a difference, I'd be an ingrate to be waiting for a more obvious invitation."

Groups such as Antifa and their tendency toward violence pose a serious threat to society. It may be time to officially classify Antifa as the domestic terror threat that it is.

Earlier, Ngo wrote that he had been specifically singled out by Antifa as a target.
"I am nervous about tomorrow’s Portland antifa rally," Ngo wrote."
Ngo, a Vietnamese American, has regularly documented violent attacks carried out by members of Antifa. His profile on Twitter, prior to the attack, stated that he is "hated by Antifa."
