Hi there,

In this chaotic news cycle it may be tempting to tune out, but we hope you won’t—only an informed and engaged public can defend democracy. In these times of deep political polarization we need news that goes beyond play-by-play headlines, news that goes to the heart of each story by asking people to tell their own stories of abuses of power and injustice in their own words. If our journalism is important to you, please donate today. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much.

Trump Suggests Antifa Shares Equal Blame for Deadly Violence

HeadlineAug 08, 2019

Ahead of his trips to Dayton and El Paso, President Trump sought Wednesday to lay equal blame for deadly violence on white supremacists and the anti-fascist movement known as “antifa.”

President Donald Trump: “I am concerned about the rise of any group of hate. I don’t like it. Any group of hate, I am — whether it’s white supremacy, whether it’s any other kind of supremacy, whether it’s antifa, whether it’s any group of hate, I am very concerned about it, and I’ll do something about it.”
