Guest Post by Ann Coulter
I wonder if Milo Yiannopoulos, Ben Shapiro, Charles Murray and Heather MacDonald are reacting to these antifa riots the same way I am.
I mean, not that anyone of us would enjoy the sight of reporters being trapped, chased through the streets and physically assaulted by antifa goons. Or liberal Democrats having to defend their homes with guns in Saint Louis, MO. Or the president hiding in the White House bunker as antifa lays waste to Lafayette Park. Or the mayor of Seattle WA, finally shutting down the CHAZ “summer of love” when the mob came to her house.
They’re all “peaceful protesters” — until they come near you.
Imagine that instead of being a president, mayor or reporter in the vicinity of mentally unbalanced, historically illiterate, thuggishly violent lunatics … imagine that you, personally, are the window they want to smash.
Now you know what it’s like to be a conservative trying to give a speech on a college campus today. (Thanks for all the help, guys!)
Neither the conservative media nor elected Republicans gave a crap about the left-wing paramilitary force that’s been mobilizing since Trump’s election.
Through it all, conservatives stuck their heads in the sand and rationalized insane liberal violence. It was the path of least resistance — and also a smart business move. Cowards could pitch themselves as the “reasonable” ones, then sit back and watch as their more popular conservative competitors were deplatformed, shadow-banned and outright canceled.
Over and over again, conservatives made excuses for doing nothing. They told themselves:
It’s only Milo — he’s shocking, not the kind of nuanced conservative thinker I am.
It’s only Gavin McInnes and his “Proud Boys” — he’s funny, whereas I am aggressively humorless, so I’m safe.
It’s only Heather MacDonald and Charles Murray — they write about crime rates and I.Q. I steer well clear of any topic that might trigger liberals!
And thus were the most interesting and popular personalities on the right scrubbed from the public square by violent, low-I.Q. criminals. How tiny is the circle of speech and behavior you’ve permitted yourselves, conservatives?
Now, hordes of these cretins have taken control of the streets, and the only pushback is the president cowering in the White House, tweeting “LAW & ORDER!” Yes, Churchill retreated to a basement, too — in Whitehall, where he planned a war that saved the world. He didn’t tweet out “HITLER! BAD!”
For 3 1/2 years, antifa was never punished for anything it did. To the contrary, they were praised. Private citizens who fought back were defamed as “white supremacists” and imprisoned.
Hundreds of masked antifa traveled interstate to riot at Trump’s inauguration, breaking windows, assaulting Trump supporters, burning stretch limousines and smashing the windows of SUVs — including Larry King’s!
As a result, more than 200 of the rioters were placed under “arrest,” (a police technique in use at the time). Prosecutors had mounds of evidence, including video, undercover agents and law enforcement witnesses.
But D.C. judges Lynn Leibovitz and Robert E. Morin made sure almost all charges were dropped. Only one rioter, facing 70 years for felony rioting and assault on a cop, served any time in prison. Judge Leibovitz suspended all but four months of his sentence.
No congressional push to impeach the antifa-friendly judges, no separate federal prosecutions of the out-of-state rioters, no segments about this outrage on Fox News.
When Yiannopoulos was to speak at Berkeley in February 2017, 1,500 protesters, including more than 100 antifa, set fires, smashed windows and threw rocks. In reaction to this, Berkeley punished Milo and canceled the speech. (Not to brag, but 2,000 antifa tried to shut down my Berkeley speech last fall but it went off without a hitch! This was mostly thanks to the Bay Area Proud Boys. Hahaha, antifa!)
There was only one arrest. Soon, Milo was completely deplatformed and disinvited by the toothless, collaborationist CPAC.
President Trump responded to the Berkeley riots by sending in the National Guard to protect free speech at a public university. JUST KIDDING! He tweeted: “If U.C. Berkeley does not allow free speech and practices violence on innocent people with a different point of view — NO FEDERAL FUNDS?” … and then of course did nothing. Positively Churchillian!
That was at least better than Sens. Mitt Romney and Marco Rubio, who praised antifa for raining violence on protesters in Charlottesville, Virginia, in August 2017. The senators called the masked psychotics anti-fascist, apparently unaware that by “fascist,” antifa means them.
Can anyone remember what that protest was about? Oh yes, the tearing down of a Confederate statue.
No punishment. Heaps of praise. Lesson learned.
In 2018, the night before Vice magazine founder McInnes gave a speech at the Metropolitan Republican Club on the Upper East Side, antifa smashed the club’s historic windows and spray-painted the anarchist “A” on the front door. Sadly for antifa, when they showed up to shut down the event the next day, they were met by McInnes’ Proud Boys — a multiracial social club for patriotic men who don’t mind a good scrap.
The speech went off, the attendees were protected, and the Proud Boys walked away. But antifa loons circled back for a sneak attack, hurling a bottle of urine at the Proud Boys. Although well outnumbered, the Proud Boys proceeded to kick skinny antifa butt. (Only the antifa girls are fat.)
Guess who was prosecuted? The Proud Boys — by Manhattan D.A. Cyrus Vance Jr., the same guy who allowed Jeffrey Epstein and Harvey Weinstein to wantonly rape women and girls in his jurisdiction, year after year.
Two Proud Boys are sitting in prison right now, sentenced to four years for fighting back. McInnes himself was thrown off every social media platform and forced to announce that he was stepping down from the Proud Boys.
Not one antifa was even arrested. NYPD: Oh darn. We couldn’t catch them. (Hey — maybe send the Proud Boys next time!)
But I’m sure you’ve heard all about it on Fox News and other conservative — oh no, wait, you haven’t heard about this from anyone. Democrats used our majestic system of justice to shield antifa from any private citizen who fights back. Not one elected Republican, including our bad-ass president, lifted a finger to defend McInnes and the Proud Boys.
Conservative sunshine patriots said to themselves: Those guys have tattoos! They like to fight! I’m a “constitutional conservative”!
The left has been laying the groundwork for this anarchist takeover for a long time. But even they must be amazed that the conservative response was to roll over and play dead. Except maybe they’re not playing.

I have given up on Republicans. A few fight back but the party itself is part of the deep state. An enemy of the people just as BLM and Antifa. Oh yea the dems in there too.
Less an enemy than an obstacle. Carlson has it right. They are cowardly dogs which means if their voters “tell them what to do” or else, they will do it. Use their weakness to our advantage. Sounds like Sun Tzu type logic.
correction,harry,
if their donors tellthem what to to or else,they will do it–
Certainly Antifa people do a lot of mayhem, and they are prone to violence and immense ignorance. That said, how the eff am I supposed to be scared of a bunch of punks that have never done a hard day’s work in their lives? Country boy will survive.
There are some other variables you may want to consider.
Those punks have some hard core radicals in their midst and those punks are far from being spindly soi bois. This is all engineered and controlled, they have walkie talkies, they have guns and molotov cocktails and they hunt in packs and hit from behind using cups filled with concrete and bike locks. Underestimate these pukes at your risk. They train. Antifa was and is a communist radical group and has been around since before the second world war. The ‘anarchists’ have been around for a very long time and if you look to the Bolsheviks you will understand what lies behind the Antifa bullshit.
Where do this pukes get their money? Who supports them.
“Where do this pukes get their money? Who supports them. “
As soon as Trump declares them to be a terrorist group, the DoJ can go after the money men behind them. (sarc)

Heck, I get it. Still feels good to vent.
Sic him, Ann. Grind his ass up. He’s a transparent blowhard-what the Marines said of such people: An alligator’s mouth and a humming bird’s ass. All talk and tweet and no action. Leastwise none of the actions that got him elected.
Just draw a mental image of this fool in his chair in the Oval Office responding to the riots and destruction by punching the keys of his cell phone. Now think of what Putin would do in a similar situation.
Remember there are 3 black women that incorporated BLM in Delaware 2016 ! All 3 are devoted Marxists with a goal to destroy American society from within !
Either ANTIFA or. BLM are the useful idiots one for the other !
Regardless idiots all around and Democrats , Republicans and academics are rewarding them with a voice and a platform . Talk about enemies foreign & domestic ! NOW WHAT ?
FORGET ME NOT

For once I agree with everything she says.
Trump was just Prozac to keep the right from revolting. Now they won’t even revolt.
We allowed them 3 1/2 years to get trained and armed and organized. All you trump excuse makers can kiss my bony Irish ass. You can’t even man up and admit you’ve been nine elevened. Instead its think how bad it would be under hillary and wait till November.
No backwards steps. That really has to be the reality when people are confronted by these leftist/anarchist assholes. I still am amazed they are not being killed in large numbers due to all the violence on innocents they perpetrate.
They hit in places that are mostly anti-gun and democrat strongholds.
if the govt doesn’t get control of the left very soon i believe that there might be a bloodbath–more/more center right people are starting to wake up & when that happens in combination w/a major incident violence might start in a big way–
Llpoh, no backward steps.
It is high time for forward steps, wouldn’t you say? Not for the “good citizens” onsite who allow our monuments desecrated, businesses burned and innocents maimed or killed. Rather for those of us who’ve done the smart thing to create our own enclave far away and safe, for now.
Intelligent man must reckon with keeping this land indivisible.
It’s amazing how simple it’d be.
The root of all the major funding for Trump, the GOP, the Democrats and Antifa all comes from the same place. That’s why there’s not a single politician in DC who dares do anything about them (other than tweet, that is.)
