He described them as an organization that is sick, dangerous, and as radically left.

Antifa is terrible.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday night, Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., praised Trump&#8217;s announcement, saying: &#8220;Antifa seized upon a movement of legitimate grievances to promote violence and anarchy, working against justice for all. The President is right to recognize the destructive role of Antifa by designating them domestic terrorists.&#8221; In July 2019, Cassidy and Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cassidy.senate.gov\/newsroom\/press-releases\/cassidy-cruz-antifa-is-a-domestic-terrorist-organization\">introduced a resolution<\/a> in the Senate to condemn the violent acts of antifa and to designate the group a domestic terror organization.<\/p>\n<p>In 2020, in the midst of the George Floyd protests, Trump also raised the idea of designating antifa as a terror organization.<\/p>\n<p>Trump&#8217;s previous FBI director, Christopher Wray, said in testimony that year that <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/donald-trump-ap-top-news-elections-james-comey-politics-bdd3b6078e9efadcfcd0be4b65f2362e\">antifa is an ideology<\/a>, not an organization, lacking the hierarchical structure that would usually allow it to be designated as a terror group by the federal government.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>Additional Reading:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Kim, S.
