'Do we know what 'Antifa' stands for? It's 'anti-First Amendment.' So, that's very curious,' Conway said.
Counselor to the President Kellyanne Conway and a Fox News contributor on Monday both falsely claimed that Antifa is a shortened version of"anti-First Amendment" during a segment onConservative commentator and radio show host Dan Bongino argued on Monday that members of the movement are"not counter-protesters" during an appearance on Fox News.
"Antifa are not counter-protesters, it is an anti-First Amendment — that's what it stands for," the commentator continued."They tell you it stands for 'anti-fascist,' it really is 'anti-First Amendment.' They are an anti-First Amendment, ultra-violent terror group that wants to silence people's free speech. They are not counter-protesters.""I 100 percent disavow violence.
"Do we know what 'Antifa' stands for? It's 'anti-First Amendment.' So, that's very curious," the top White House aide said."But your First Amendment does not — your First Amendment right to free speech does not extend to you being physically violent towards another human being because you disagree with their politics or because they have a red MAGA hat on.
"People have to focus on the violence that's happening, you can't just pick and choose who you think is criminally reprehensible and violent and worthy of punishment based on their politics," Conway added.
