Having stopped pretending Antifa is a terrorist threat, House and Senate Republicans have decided that domestic terrorism is actually kind of part of their party’s platform, Connecticut Dem Senator Chris Murphy has concluded after the Senate GOP fucked off on making a bill increasing enforcement of homegrown extremists happen, despite it being passed unanimously by the House GOP two years ago. When “Antifa” scares were all the rage in MAGA Land.
“This is a party that is falling apart at the seams, if their path forward is to make it easier for white supremacists to get away with crimes in this country,” Murphy told Politico about Republicans. “This is a super anodyne, inoffensive, apolitical piece of legislation that just seeks to be more coordinated in taking down violent white supremacists. I mean, if we can’t find consensus on fighting white supremacists, what can we find consensus on?” he added.
