For the Trump Administration, The Enemy is Everywhere

(Even under their beds, their underwear drawer and their porn stash)

The Crisis Factory
The White House on Thursday held a roundtable that brought together the national leadership of federal law enforcement agencies with a group of right-wing Youtube streamers and social media influencers. The topic was Antifa, and the mood was a mix of aggression and paranoia.

“I’m attacked every time I do my job. When I leave my house to go to work, I’m violently assaulted,” said Cam Higby, a Turning Point USA staffer. “I’ve had guns pulled on me. I’ve been bear-sprayed. I’ve been beaten down. I’ve been almost killed.”

Higby and others spent more than an hour discussing Antifa, its origins, and its supposed encroachment on nearly every aspect of American life. What it really demonstrated was the call-and-response dynamic that exists between extremely online far-right influencers and senior administration officials.

Pro-Trump reporter Nick Sortor recounted being briefly detained by local law enforcement in Portland; Attorney General Pam Bondi replied that she and DOJ Civil Rights Division leader Harmeet Dhillon opened a “pattern and practice investigation” into the Portland PD in response. Trump asked Higby at one point to name the cable news network that treats Antifa opponents the worst; after Higby said MSNBC, Trump remarked that Comcast CEO Brian Roberts “allows that to happen.”

said Cam Higby, a Turning Point USA staffer.

“I’ve had guns pulled on me. I’ve been bear-sprayed. I’ve been beaten down. I’ve been almost killed.”

Why doesn't she call the police, file charges, have people arrested.
If there is attempted murder on her EVERY DAY, seems like there would be
some police reports and charges.

He sounded female to me by his wording.
And his name is gender neutral.

And he made it sound like hordes of people were trying to kill him.

They used to call that "seeing things" when I was growing up.

I had originally said "he," but changed it based on the other posts. Honestly, I have never heard of him.
