In August, the liberal media tore President Donald Trump to shreds when he stated that “both sides” were to blame for the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia.

As with most things, it now appears that the media was too quick to start criticizing Trump. In fact, new information shows that the Department of Homeland Security has been issuing warnings about various Antifa groups for a while, Politico reported.

Since early 2016 — during President Obama’s tenure — both the FBI and DHS were warning that the Antifa groups were becoming increasingly violent. Stunningly, Obama’s DHS actually classified Antifa activity as “domestic terrorist violence.”

Of course the media hasn’t let that stop them from pretending that the Antifa are peaceful protesters and that the alt-right are the only ones committing violence.

Trump was right. Both sides share blame for the violence that has engulfed this nation recently. Ignoring this fact goes against what the FBI and DHS has been saying for over a year, since before Donald Trump’s election — as well as what countless photos and videos from these protests have shown us.

“These antifa guys were showing up with weapons, shields and bike helmets and just beating the s*** out of people … They’re using Molotov cocktails, they’re starting fires, they’re throwing bombs and smashing windows,” said one anonymous law enforcement official.

The FBI and DHS report on these groups stressed that there is still a lot that is unknown about them; there is real concern they are traveling overseas to get training in how to conduct violent protests, and they may start upping the level of violence.

“Every time they have one of these protests where both sides are bringing guns, there are sphincters tightening in my world. Emotions get high, and fingers get twitchy on the trigger,” said the law enforcement official.

While the alt-right and other racist groups should be held accountable for their despicable acts, Antifa also needs to be held accountable.

“Both the racists and a segment of violent antifa counter-protestors are amped for battle in an escalating arms race, where police departments are outmaneuvered, resulting in increasingly violent dangerous confrontations,” former New York City police officer Brian Levin explained.

The longer the media refuses to call out the Antifa for their role in the violence, the more emboldened they will get and the worse off this country will be.

It’s time to call out both sides for their brutality, and bring and end to the violence that has torn this nation apart.
