[catbyte]

A Turning Point USA alum and Trump diehard-turned-state rep has a new project. But even his fellow Republicans have doubts.

Chaos. Incivility. Lack of respect for authority.

Those are the things a Montana lawmaker accuses anti-fascists of in a new resolution intended to designate the movement a “domestic terrorist organization.”

But the measure is struggling to get off the ground, and the 20-year-old MAGA acolyte-turned-state lawmaker pushing it seems to be the reason why.

A representative asked Mitchell whether he had consulted with law enforcement on the bill—he had not. Another questioned why Mitchell had claimed in his opening remarks that the bill was bipartisan, when no Democrats had signed onto it

“I was making a joke on the bill,” Mitchell replied. But not even his Republican peers were laughing.

1. What a supremely slappable face. Smug little prick.

[dflprincess]

2. How does one declare a "group"

that exists only as a concept a "terrorist organization"?

3. major yuck...

on so many levels.

5. It's adorable when they play grownup among adults.

6. This is frustrating the hell out of me. If Antifa is an ideology with no members, no place, no

anything beyond being against fascists, then why don't the media, Democrats, government group or someone with the power of persuasion come out and say so? The Repukes get more mileage out of Antifa than we realize. They yell "Antifa" like abortion during elections, Hillary or Pelosi when they get backed into a corner, Democrats raising taxes, Obama-anything, etc. to divert attention from their own shenanigans.

I swear that if an Antifa protester actually stared them in the eyes, they'd drop dead.

If Antifa was at the capitol, why didn't they take a photo(s) of them?

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

7. A negative can not be proven.

Also, I have heard and read numerous times that Antifa is not a thing, or group, or ideology. There isn’t any there ther.

9. They are certainly no 'Proud Boys' or 'Oath Keepers' in terms of 'being an actual, real group'

Nor does this fictitious outfit remotely approach the level of:

"Chaos. Incivility. Lack of respect for authority."

that the aforementioned, real-life groups regularly, and quite publicly, display.

Facts.

8. You almost got it right, kid ... it is a joke of a bill (nt)

[Progressive Jones]

10. This little fascist monkey is just worried that anti-fascists may harm him some day.

He should be. He should be very worried.
