COMMENTARY OF THE DAY

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem slammed Antifa during a White House roundtable discussion with reporters on, likening far-left troublemakers to terror groups like ISIS. A truism.
"I want to thank the new journalists here today for telling their stories and for being able and willing to go to the streets and to cover what's happening here in America. Many times, the legacy media has looked the other way, refused to tell the stories," Noem began. "The networks have not really focused on what this is and what damage it is doing to our country and how this network of Antifa is just as sophisticated as MS-13, as TdA, as ISIS, as Hezbollah, as Hamas, as all of them," she continued.
She said that authorities recently arrested the girlfriend of the founder of Antifa in Portland, and that investigators are trying to garner more information from her about the network of newly-labeled "domestic terrorists" during their prosecution. Noem said the administration's explicit goal is to "eliminate [Antifa] from the existence of American society." "These individuals do not just want to threaten our law enforcement officers, threaten our journalists and the citizens of this country. They want to kill them," Noem said.
"Their agenda is to destroy the American people and our way of life," she said. "And this president is standing in their way. He is stopping them from bringing their death. And there's destruction to the individual citizens in this country that just want to raise their kids and their grandkids in peace and in safety." President Donald Trump set the stage at the beginning of the roundtable.
