'Two Republican senators are diving into the fight against the threat of domestic terrorism — by introducing legislation targeting the decentralized antifascist movement known as “antifa.”Senators Ted Cruz of Texas and Bill Cassidy of Louisiana unveiled a resolution this week “calling for the designation of Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization.” The resolution states that “Antifa is a movement that intentionally combines violence with the group’s alt-left positions.”There are two problems with this: First: antifa hasn’t killed people, unlike the far-right. '
'Second, there’s no domestic terror designation system that would make this possible. '
'Organizations like the KKK or the neo-Nazi group Atomwaffen are instead described as “hate groups.”The FBI has said that domestic terrorism poses a growing and very real threat to national security. '
'However, that threat isn’t coming from antifa, whose members sometimes damage property and brawl with fascists or police but haven’t been linked to any killings in the U.S.There is a threat, though, from far-right extremists whose members accounted for 73% of extremist murders in the U.S. between 2009 and 2018, according to the Anti-Defamation League. '
' This is compared to 23% by jihadists. '
