ANTIFA SHOULD BE DESIGNATED AS A DOMESTIC TERRORIST ORGANIZATION
(Ms. GREENE of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. GREENE of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, I announce that I am introducing
a House Resolution to designate antifa as a domestic terrorist
organization.
America has had enough of these terrorists.
Just this past weekend, antifa-affiliated rioters set fire to the
future Atlanta police training facility by attacking it, an organized
attack that is all captured on video. Molotov cocktails and other
destructive items, fireworks were fired at police officers, and the
construction site was set on fire causing much damage.
There were over 30 people arrested.
Now, here is the issue: only two of them were actually from Georgia.
The rest of them were from other places in the country, and several of
them were from other countries like France and Canada. One of them
happened to be an

attorney for the Southern Poverty Law Center. That is disgraceful.
This all comes on the heels of antifa terrorizing Americans for years
now.
Never forget in the summer of 2020, antifa caused over $2 billion in
damage; setting fires to cities, businesses, attacking police officers,
and killing people. Yet over 95 percent of those arrested had their
charges dropped.
