Former NBC News employee Chuck Todd is freaking out about Trump deciding to designate Antifa as a terrorist organization.
Speaking to former CNN employee Chris Cillizza on his podcast, Todd suggested that this move is dangerous. Cillizza agreed, naturally.
The best part, is Chuck Todd claiming that he doesn’t know what Antifa is and that there is ‘no group.’ That’s total baloney, as you’ll see if you read below.
First the clip. Partial transcript by Jason Cohen on Twitter/X:
“I don’t even know what Antifa is. I know what the definition of Antifa is. There is no group!”

“And if the Trump administration decides to say, ‘You, George Soros, are a part of this group that I designated,’ and you’re like, ‘No, I’m not,’ and it doesn’t matter.”

But the movement is still loosely defined and organized, making it difficult to get a grip on its size and aims.
Professor Mark Bray, a historian and lecturer at Dartmouth, has tried to fill the gap in his new book, “Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook,” that chronicles its rise. While Bray doesn’t participate in the group’s protests, he nonetheless considers himself an ally…
Bray talked to NBC News about the antifa movement — and the role violence plays within it — on Thursday.
Here is the video of Chuck Todd interviewing a supposed expert on Antifa:
For him to play dumb about Antifa now is simply that. Dumb.
