Loeffler Cosponsors Resolution Designating Antifa as Domestic Terrorist Organization

Press Release

U.S. Senator Kelly Loeffler (R-Ga.) cosponsored S.Res.279, a resolution designating Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. The resolution was introduced by U.S. Senators Bill Cassidy (R-La.) and Ted Cruz (R-Texas).

"In the wake of George Floyd's tragic death, Americans, including myself, are angry and each of us has a right to protest peacefully," Loeffler said. "But the violence, destruction and anarchy brought to cities across America by mobs incited by Antifa are not principled protests and are detracting from the peaceful protests. Antifa activists too often ignite tensions, commit acts of violence, instill fear and spread chaos. Their violent activity is distracting us from honoring George Floyd's memory and preventing us from coming together to solve the issues our country faces. It's time their criminal behavior is rightfully recognized by labeling Antifa a domestic terrorist organization. I commend President Trump and Attorney General Barr for taking action to hold Antifa accountable and determine who is organizing these destructive protests."
