Key Issues
RUMOR:
Antifa is a violent domestic terror organization.
REALITY:
Antifa is about opposing fascism. Like we did in World War 2.
Antifa is a collection of small, independent groups, not an actual organization. Their overall goal is to oppose Nazis and similar groups. Antifa groups often protest against white nationalist demonstrators. Sometimes that leads to violent clashes, but no one tied to Antifa has killed anyone in the US. Antifa groups are not threatening suburbs and are not setting forest fires.
