He just gets a little out there from time to time. He was directly calling for right-wingers to attack leftists in one interview, and it wasn't an abstract suggestion. It was straight up saying it. I tend to think that the group got away from him in terms of radicalism and violence and he could no longer take the heat outside of the media he operates in.
I see them as the Fisher-Price "My First Far Right Organization".
A fair assessment, thank you. Based on this assessment would you apply the far left organization label to Antifa, or those operating under its aegis?
