President Trump is the true anti-facist.

"...A single voice of sanity commented on the events. On Saturday evening, President Donald Trump decried the hatred and violence on both sides. Then the country went nuts. Journalists and politicians expressed outrage that he hadn't called out the Nazis and the Klan by name and that he had blamed both sides. They demanded retractions and apologies, and a few called on Trump to resign. One Democratic Missouri state senator hoped for his assassination.
But Trump was right. There were two sides in Charlottesville. One side was a fringe group whose views haven't been taken seriously for at least 50 years and who don't have sufficient members to elect a dogcatcher.
The other side were the "aggressively aggrieved left." They've been around for decades, and, like many shady movements, they frequently change their name.
In 2011, they called themselves "the 99%" when they occupied and trashed Zuccotti Park near Wall Street.
In 2013, they marched as "Black Lives Matter" and called for murder: "Whaddah we want? Dead cops! When do we want them? Now!" and "Pigs in a blanket. Fry 'em like bacon." (The neo-Nazi chants in Charlottesville sound almost conciliatory in comparison.) A rash of cop-killings followed, and many were directly linked to the cause of Black Lives Matter, whose leaders were invited to Obama's White House.
Today they call themselves the "Antifa [for anti-fascist] Movement," an irony that probably escapes them. Their tactics of knocking heads, lighting fires, and breaking windows are exactly those of the Nazis and Fascists in the 1930s. They call this violence "by any means necessary" and claim justification in order to prevent "hatred" – i.e., anything that offends Democrats' sensibilities, like speeches by Ann Coulter or Milo Yiannopoulos and statues of a long dead Democrats everywhere.
The real anti-fascist – and the only one, if recent rhetoric is a guide – is our president. Only he acknowledged the hatred on both sides of the Charlottesville riot. And only he had the courage to identify one of those sides as the "Alt-Left...."
