Republican Rep. Greg Steube (Florida) said 15 Antifa members were arrested in the US, and discussed a new bill co-sponsored with Senator Rick Scott titled 'Stop Antifa.' Steube said the bill aims to codify the 2020 executive order defining the group as a domestic terror organization, preventing a future president from rescinding it. He accused Democrats of encouraging violence.
Republican Rep. Greg Steube (Florida) said in an interview with NTD News that 15 members of the loosely organized left-wing movement known as Antifa have been arrested in the United States. Steube discussed a new bill he co-sponsored with Senator Rick Scott (Florida) titled 'Stop Antifa,' which would codify the 2020 executive order signed by then-President Donald Trump designating Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. According to Steube, the bill would prevent a future president from reversing the designation and would enable the FBI to open investigations into the group. He argued that while protest is legitimate, it should not descend into violence against law enforcement or property. Steube blamed Democrats for what he called irresponsible rhetoric and encouragement of violence, citing House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's 2021 reference to Republican members of Congress as 'terrorists' after the January 6 Capitol riot. The interview, conducted in English, is available at NTD.
