David Axelrod Warns Trump’s Designation of Leftist Group as ‘Terrorist Organization’ Will Be Used to ‘Go After’ the President’s Enemies

AXELROD: “I think we owe it to the president, we owe it to the people around him to take him seriously. He’s been saying not just before — since the Kirk assassination, but before it, that he was going to go after, say, George Soros, because he said he was funding agitators. And this thing tonight, this post should not be dismissed. Because what it means is, he will define — just as they will define the public interest, they will define what is Antifa and they will go after everyone and everything that they put under that umbrella, even though it isn’t an organization, it is, in many ways, mythology. But it gives them a pretext to go after their political enemies. You know, Rahm said, Kara said, well, you know, voters have a say. They do have a say. But this is gonna be a major effort to try and defund any opposition in this country by doing it under this rubric of Antifa and the radical left. I think this is an inflection moment, so it’s quite concerning.”
