“Thank you, Mr. President, for hosting us here. I must emphasize—it may sound repetitive, but it bears repeating—Antifa poses a significant threat. Just last weekend, I witnessed their disruptive behavior in Portland.”
“Their problematic existence is compounded by the refusal of many Democrats and sections of mainstream media to even acknowledge them. How do we, as a nation, address a burgeoning threat when those in influential positions conveniently ignore its existence?”
Catch the highlighted video below; it’s worth your time:
Here’s my complete statement to President Trump during the White House roundtable on Antifa: Antifa is indeed real and constitutes a genuine threat… Sustained political violence does not stem from ‘both sides.’ Every violent protest I have reported on this year has originated from leftist groups. pic.twitter.com/AKy7NBjM3Q

Antifa’s Subtle Collaboration with Portland Police: The Narrative Media Overlooks
Portland, Oregon, continuously finds itself under intense scrutiny due to the strong presence of Antifa. This past summer, headlines centered on their activities outside the ICE facility, while the Portland Police Bureau faced increasing censure for its apparent inaction.
The police’s failure to enforce laws at the ICE facility has escalated tensions—not just among federal agents tasked with safeguarding it, but also for residents of a low-income apartment complex situated nearby. Legal action taken by some residents to compel police action resulted in a court ruling stating that local law enforcement is not required to maintain order outside the federal building.
With the judiciary siding with them, Antifa intensified its nightly operations around the courthouse. However, that changed last week when President Donald Trump invoked the deployment of Oregon National Guardsmen. If local and state authorities are unwilling to fulfill their responsibilities, the federal government will step in. This proactive stance from the War Department understandably incensed local radicals, prompting them to escalate their efforts further.
Journalists like Rosas and Andy Ngo are performing the investigative duties that the mainstream media appears to have abandoned. They are uncovering and relaying crucial information, which is progressively earning them the trust of the public over what many now perceive as an outdated media landscape acting merely as a PR arm for the Democratic Party.
