“So in retrospect, it’s very clear who antifa was, and is” white nationalist spox and Hungarian tourism counselor Tucker Carlson says on his Fox show. “Antifa is the armed instrument of the permanent Democratic establishment in Washington. Their job is to mobilize when politically necessary. Now this is a new thing in the United States, but political militia are a common feature in Third World politics.”
We see you, Tucker. We know you’re crushed that your buddies in the Proud Boys are going to jail for seditious conspiracy. And your pals in the Oath Keepers. You must be very sad to see the actual right wing militia–the ones the leader of the GOP told to “Stand back and stand by”–crumbling, so you’ve got to promote a self-created talking point about a non-existent relationship to create more fear and anger among those white nationalists.
