Protests have been raging on in the United States as of late due to the police killing of George Floyd. Many are rightfully upset at the injustices that have been committed against people of color for centuries and these protests are meant as a way to get some real change happening. At this point, it remains to be seen whether or not the government will actually take notice in a positive way, especially when you consider how they have handled protesters in the past.
A large part of the movement against police brutality is ANTIFA which is simply short for Anti-Fascists. The right has been against ANTIFA for years and now, President Donald Trump is taking another swing. In a new tweet, Trump claimed that ANTIFA is responsible for the destruction in the country and that they will be declared as a terrorist organization.
