During a roundtable on Breitbart Fight Club, a counselor for President Peter Navarro discussed the contrasting treatment of January 6 protesters versus those involved in Antifa activities.
Washington Director Matthew Boyle inquired whether Navarro believes President Donald Trump aims to label Antifa as a terrorist group.
Navarro referenced journalist Andy Ngo, stating, “It was nearly killed by Antifa because it exposed this network of terrorists.”
He also shared his own experiences, noting, “I’ve dealt with Antifa during the pandemic.” He recounted walking through the streets amid the George Floyd protests, acknowledging it might not have been the wisest decision, but he did it anyway.
“I saw individuals equipped with $3,000 to $4,000 carbon fiber bikes and dressed in black, tight-fitting outfits, helmets, and armed as if for a guerrilla attack. I had never encountered anarchists as organized as Antifa. Absolutely, they qualify as a domestic terrorist organization,” he remarked.
“And yes, we need to investigate how they received funding. It’s no joke about figures like Senator George Soros. Meanwhile, those arrested from January 6 have been harshly treated and imprisoned,” he added.
“I know the audience felt frustrated watching the destruction in Portland while those involved weren’t arrested, while January 6 participants were detained without bail before their trials,” he said.
Navarro’s book, I Went to Prison So You Don’t Have To: Find a Story of Love and Law on Trump Land, is available for those interested.
