Washington: Chris Wray, director of the US Federal Investigation Agency (FBI), told lawmakers Thursday that Antifa is an ideology, not an organization. His statement is likely to worsen the relationship with President Donald Trump, who said that he would call it a Terror Organization.
Hours after the congressional hearing, Trump took to Twitter to back the FBI director for his statements on Antifa and Russian interference in the election. Explain that both the issues were prominent in the Congressional hearing on the threat to American security.
Referencing Antifa, the president wrote, “I consider them a group of well-funded chaotic elements and thugs who are safe because the Commie / Mueller-inspired FBI is unable or unwilling to figure out where the financing is going.” And she is letting them escape despite committing ‘murder’. “
It is noteworthy that Chris Ray finally came into the limelight after trying to survive for three years. Prior to this, his predecessor James Comey was also caught in politics and was eventually removed. Ray said on Thursday that the FBI had made an “unacceptable mistake” in investigating the relationship between Trump’s campaign and Russia.
At the same time, Trump has targeted Ray several times for the speed of resolving the problems and has been watching this intelligence group with suspicion about the Russian investigation. Ray did not oppose Thursday that the Antifa activist was a matter of grave concern.
Although he said that we can refer to him as a violent and anarchist fanatic from the clues given by the FBI investigation, but it is not a group or organization. It is a movement or ideology.
Significantly, anti-fascists are abbreviated as antifa. The term is also used for extreme leftist groups. Trump believes that Antifa is responsible for the violence following the death of black American citizen George Floyd in June.
