What is ANTIFA?

ANTIFA is also called Antifascist. Antifascist means opposing the powers of authorities that dictate their rule over society. They believe in using strict actions rather than publicly arguing or being diplomatic about an issue. ANTIFA movement targets police officers and journalists.

Mr. Trump recently tweeted that “ buffalo protester shoved by the police could be an ANTIFA provocateur?.” Martin Gugino, 75 years old has been blamed for being a provocateur and associated with the ANTIFA movement. Gugino was shoved down by two police officers of Buffalo, Colorado because he was scanning the police equipment. There are still conflicting views on this piece of the incident and there is no evidence that proves that Gugino is involved with ANTIFA. There is no hierarchy or could be claimed as a terrorist group since they are decentralized and not unified. Usually, they are recognized with a flag that has a logo of double flags and is dressed in black and red. Although ANTIFA hates white supremacists and hates racism, the violent measures taken by them are considered absurd, and ineffective. The Trump administration has refused to comment on President Trump's tweet. Gugino's friend said in a video, "He's not an agent from a deep state". Which proves that Martin Gugino is not associated with ANTIFA movement.

More updates on this incident will be coming this week.
