Some Republicans need to go back to school: Antifa is not a real organization, but you can't make them understand that

 Before being named Transportation Secretary by president Narcissus (Donald Trump), Sean Duffy's biggest claim to fame was that he was a reality TV veteran (i.e. The Real World). As with virtually everyone in the misadministration, Duffy gave up his brains.

Like Trump and other minions, Duffy is claiming that ordinary folks participating in this weekend's No Kings protests across the country, including a few in the 518, are part of the mythical organization Antifa, which is not a formal organization, but, rather, shorthand for anti-fascist, which Duffy and others can't be bothered to acknowledge.

Of course, Duffy went on the GOP's favorite network, Fox No News, and babbled this nonsense to Maria Bartiromo. As Farron Cousins explains, Duffy and the misadministration want to paint protesters as "domestic terrorists"----which they're not.


As Farron and other commentators often note, the Republicans think they're base isn't exactly full of smart people. It's all part of the con.

Suffice to say, Duffy gets something the party is familiar with.


Reality does bite after all.
