President Trump led a roundtable on antifa Wednesday, hosting far-right activists posing as “independent journalists.” Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem compared antifa to MS-13, Hamas, Hezbollah and the Islamic State. This follows President Trump’s executive order last month designating antifa as a “domestic terrorist organization.” Here’s Trump on Wednesday claiming without evidence that antifa is paid and funded.

President Donald Trump: “The epidemic of left-wing violence and antifa-inspired terror has been escalating for nearly a decade. At universities, antifa has organized riotous mobs to attack campus speakers. I see it all the time. And these are — these are agitators, anarchists, and they’re paid. … We’re going to be very threatening to them, far more threatening to them than they ever were with us. And that includes the people that fund them.”
