From Wed. Could be antifa, but could be going after mainstream non-profits.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House is preparing an executive order on political violence and hate speech, a Trump administration official said on Wednesday, as scores of left-leaning non-profits rejected what they described as efforts to undermine their work

On Wednesday, more than 120 potential targets of the administration published a letter rejecting what they said was a push to exploit political violence to mischaracterize their charitable work.


Signatories to the letter include left-leaning foundations that have been publicly named by the administration as potential targets, such as the Ford Foundation, Open Society Foundations and the Tides Foundation, but also more mainstream nonprofits such as the Bush Foundation.

“We reject attempts to exploit political violence to mischaracterize our good work or restrict our fundamental freedoms, like freedom of speech and the freedom to give,” the letter reads.
