The Department of Homeland Security has classified Antifa groups’ tactics as “domestic terrorist violence.”

Dianne Feinstein of California and Tammy Baldwin of Wisconsin and appeared at an event with Democratic Rep.

The significant efforts Alcoff takes to separate his true identity from his radical personas appear to be intentional, and his comments become more extreme when he has more anonymity. Through his Twitter account, which he’s managed to keep anonymous, Alcoff has said that Antifa organizations need to operate “both an above board group and a below one.”
