Scott Bessent, the U.S. Treasury Secretary, has pledged to track the financial backers of domestic terrorist groups, including the leftist organization Antifa.
Bessent is well aware of the current narratives being pushed by some Democrats, mainstream media, and personalities like Jimmy Kimmel, who deny Antifa’s existence. However, Bessent remains skeptical of these claims.
Antifa is undeniably an entity that is both well-financed and systematically organized. It is recognized as a left-wing domestic terrorist group. In response, the Trump Administration has rightly classified Antifa as such, prompting Bessent to take decisive action.
Emphasizing the importance of peaceful protest, Bessent affirmed his stance:
Recently, President Trump convened a roundtable at the White House to address Antifa issues with long-time reporters on the subject. Among them was Seamus Bruner, Research Director at the Government Accountability Institute (GAI), who informed the president, “Our investigations uncovered a network of NGOs. It’s not limited to the Soros network or the Open Society Foundations. It includes other networks like Arabella Advisors, the Tides Foundation, Neville Roy Singham, and various sources of foreign funding.”
Bruner further noted, “Significant left-wing financiers are involved, some of whom are not American citizens.”
Last week, President Trump held a roundtable meeting at the White House to discuss Antifa with those who have been reporting on the terror group for years. This included Seamus Bruner, the Director of Research at the Government Accountability Institute (GAI), who told the president, “We found a network of NGOs, it’s not just the Soros network, the Open Society Network. It’s other funding networks, the Arabella Funding Network, the Tides Funding Network, Neville Roy Singham and his network, foreign cash.”
He added, “And, it’s also big left-wing funders — some of them are not citizens of this country.”
None of the media’s usual-usual media tricks and hoaxes has any effect on the Trump White House. In the past, by first protecting Antifa as a sacred cow and then pretending they don’t exist, that would’ve scared off a Republican administration from pursuing these animals. The Trump people cannot be manipulated and intimidated into believing their eyes are lying when it is glaringly obvious that 1) Antifa is a terrorist organization, 2) they are well organized, and 3) they are obviously well funded.
Something Bessent didn’t mention was the pile of money it must take to keep bailing these terrorists out of prison.
Democrats and the organized left, including media outlets like CNN and NBC, want Antifa out there on the streets. They see Antifa in the same way Hitler saw his Brownshirts— as valuable thugs who intimidate and terrorize to the benefit of their political agenda.
The left’s ideas, policies, and results are such failures, gaslighting and violence are all they have left.
