Democratic Leader Keith Ellison Tweet Appears to Back Antifa

DNC Deputy Chair Keith Ellison endorsed Antifa on Wednesday, tweeting a picture of himself with an Antifa handbook.

The Daily Caller reports Ellison posted a picture with “Antifa: The Anti-Fascist Handbook” saying that the book would “strike fear in the heart” of President Trump.

Antifa is the violent far-left group responsible for starting riots and fires like the one at Berkeley.

While the group claims to be anti-Fascist, they routinely shut down the speech of people they disagree with.

The book, written by Dartmouth professor Mark Bray, argues that it’s ok to use violence against “fascism” – or, he says, those on the right - because fascist ideas aren’t worthy of debate.

Ellison’s decision to share a photo with the book is interesting considering House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi has condemned the “violent actions” of Antifa protesters.
