Paul Ryan Condemns Antifa As ‘A Scourge On Our Country’

2017-09-01

[DAILYCALLER] House Speaker Paul Ryan
...U.S. Representative for Wisconsin's 1st congressional district, serving since 1999. He is a member of the Republican Party. He proposed an alternative to President Obama's 2011 budget and made himself the target of both Democrat and Republican verbal pies...
condemned violent leftist Antifa
...the armed wing of the Democratic Party...
protesters Wednesday a day after House Minority Leader

Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi
Congresswoman-for-Life from the San Francisco Bay Area, born into a family of professional politicians. Formerly Speaker of the House, but it's not her fault they lost. Really. Noted for her heavily botoxed grimace...
condemned the group.

"Speaker Ryan believes, as is obvious, these individuals are left-wing thugs, and those who are committing violence need to be tossed in the slammer
Don't shoot, coppers! I'm comin' out!
and prosecuted. Antifa is a scourge on our country," Ryan’s spokeswoman AshLee Strong said in a statement provided exclusively to The Daily Caller.

Speaker Ryan has been criticized by many conservatives for what was viewed as a weak response to the violent activists. President Donald Trump
...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States...
blamed "many sides" for the violence surrounding a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Va., but Ryan said in a statement, "There are no sides."

"That is why we all need to make clear there is no moral relativism when it comes to neo-Nazis. We cannot allow the slightest ambiguity on such a fundamental question," the House speaker said.

#14 Antifa mostly arrives in cities friendly to their cause, which means cops stand down and arrests are minimal. I suspect those that the members of Antifa that know anything the cops would want to know are pretty well indoctrinated to not say anything except I want my laser. The rest of Antifa are just useful idiots with issues.

#13 I've had no problem watching antifa. So the lie that aw enforcement cant access antifa is par for the course these days. Simply do an online search with the key words "antifa" and a major city or university near you within or outside of facebook and you wil see them up close and personal. They use facebook to announce meeting times and locations. They use facebook during head bashing events as a communications channel. They are actual very visible there.

#12 Figures Speaker Fredo had to have some women leading the way for him.

#11 including an inability to penetrate the groups’ “diffuse and decentralized organizational structure,” which made it difficult for law enforcement to identify violent groups and individuals. Authorities also “lack information to identify the travel patterns linking U.S. and foreign anarchist extremists,”

Total Rubbish! Detain two or three for interrogation, you'll learn what you need to know. 'Intelligence gap' of your own making.

#10 FBI, Homeland Security warn of more ‘antifa’ attacks

"But one of the internal assessments acknowledged several significant “intelligence gaps,” including an inability to penetrate the groups’ “diffuse and decentralized organizational structure,” which made it difficult for law enforcement to identify violent groups and individuals. Authorities also “lack information to identify the travel patterns linking U.S. and foreign anarchist extremists,” the assessment said."

Classic use of the rule of three.

#5 Kabuki theater. Got to go after who is enabling and funding it. By enablers, I'm saying our 'esteemed' institutions of 'higher learning', not just the Soros like financiers.

#2 Wow. This is huge. Ryan was refusing to condemn Antifa.

This means Trump was right all along. No wonder Ryan resisted saying this.

#1 House Speaker Paul Ryan condemned violent leftist Antifa protesters Wednesday a day after House Minority Leader Nancy “San Fran Nan” Pelosi condemned the group.

Sounds about right. When the swamp Dems begin to spin, right on queue the swamp RINOs pick it up and croak it too.
