Opinion| Lawrence David| Yesterday, U.S. Attorney General William Barr felt compelled to address the deteriorating conditions in Democrat-run cities where outside anarchists were flying and getting bussed in to take advantage of lax enforcement protocols to instigate property destruction, looting and arson.
Unfortunately, with the rioting that is occurring in many of our cities around the country, the voices of peaceful protest are being hijacked by violent radical elements.
Groups of outside radicals and agitators are exploiting the situation to pursue their own separate and violent agenda.
In many places, it appears the violence is planned, organized, and driven by anarchistic and far left extremists, using Antifa-like tactics, many of whom travel from out of state to promote the violence.
Today, AG Barr released a statement:
The violence instigated and carried out by Antifa and other similar groups in connection with the rioting is domestic terrorism and will be treated accordingly.
The United States is currently experiencing an insurrection decades in the making. The death of George Floyd is merely a pretext for a much larger political agenda by the far-left. Read my latest column for @SpectatorUSA: https://t.co/9sNKhOqZty

We are witnessing glimmers of the full insurrection the far-left has been working toward for decades. The killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis was merely a pretext for radicals to push their ambitious insurgency. In a matter of hours, after the video of Floyd began circulating the internet, militant antifa cells across the country mobilized to Minnesota to aid Black Lives Matter rioters…
… The militants uprising across the country want a revolution and they don’t care who or what has to be destroyed in the process. If their comrades die, they are elevated as martyrs in propaganda. Death is celebrated.
At its core, BLM is a revolutionary Marxist ideology. Alicia Garza, Opal Tometi and Patrisse Cullors, BLM’s founders, are self-identified Marxists who make no secret of their worship of communist terrorists and fugitives, like Assata Shakur. They want the abolishment of law enforcement and capitalism. They want regime change and the end of the rule of law. Antifa has partnered with Black Lives Matter, for now, to help accelerate the breakdown of society.
Do not underestimate the degree to which Antifa has infiltrated the highest levels of the Democratic Party… Do not be deluded that Bernie is just a harmless old socialist… here’s who he surrounded himself with…

The entire Democrat Party has the blood of Antifa on its hands. Have any Democrat leaders stepped forward to condemn these anarchists?
